The trapezoid Torah mantle comprises a cloak attached to a round top, with a vertical back opening.
A Hebrew dedication is embroidered on its front. The inscription is inscribed in square, filled letters, which reads:
" הקדש די ג'וייה/ ברוך ברכה הי"ו (ה' יחיה וישמרה)."
"Dedicated by Gioia (to the Midrash; see: Remarks: no. 1) Baruch Beracha, may the Lord protect and sustain her."
