The silver(?, brass?), tower-shaped rimon consists of a shaft, a body, a head, and an apex. ## The shaft is undulating and it stems from a raised round base. The shaft has two bands which are decorated with a chaised floral pattern. The base of the shaft and the portion between the bands are decorated with engraved vertical lines.##The body consists of a concave, upward-widening base and a domical upper part. The body's base depicts a chaised and punched floral and foliate pattern, while the upper part has an openwork design composed of medallions encircling a double flower. The rim of the upper part is engraved with vertical lines. Six bell-arms with bells are applied to the upper part's rim. The head consists of a concave neck and a domical upper part where three bell-arms are applied. It is surmounted by a six armed crown bearing a geometric design.## The apex is undulating. A dedicatory inscription is engraved on the inside of both shafts, and reads:##"Schwartz Mihaly es neje ajoindeled"##"Donated(?) by Mihaly Schwartz and his wife"
