The wooden fragment of the Holy Ark is in the shape of an architectural facade where two columns that support an architrave, frame the Tablets of the Covenant in the center. The tablets are inscribed with the beginning of the Ten Commandments, five on each side. Above the commandments on both tablets, there is an inscription in one line of square letters that read:
משנת תקכ"א לפק [=לפרט קטן]
Translation: From the year (5)521 (=1761)
Beneath the commandment are protruding rectangular panels enclosing foliate scrolls. Each tablet is framed by an arch decorated with foliate scrolls. The same pattern decorates the external columns. Below the architrave, there is a dedicatory inscription. In one line of square letters, it reads:
זנ [=זאת נדבת] דוב בן עזראל עם בנו יעקב
Translation: This is the donation of Dov son of Azreel with his son Jacob
This object is a fragment of the upper part decoration of a Torah Ark which has more than double height as one can see in the old picture.
