The faceted Torah case consists of a body surmounted by a coronet. The case is divided into two vertical halves, closed by a hook in the front and joined by two hinges on the back.

The ten-faceted body is bordered at the top and bottom with protruding wooden friezes, decorated with acanthus leaves. Two additional wooden bands mark the front and back openings.

The coronet follows the body's shape, comprising ten fleur-de-lis-like units, each flanked by two acanthus leaves.

The inner face is plain wood painted in white, adorned with gold and red decorations. Each half-unit has an elevated shelf at its bottom and a semi-cupola at its top. The spandrels are blocked with wooden panels decorated with lavish scrolls, topped by an oval medallion. Wooden bars painted gold and red are decorated with foliate motifs and are set along the openings. Two staves for the Torah scroll are inserted through holes in the base and the roof, adorned by an onion-shaped top, decorated with acanthus leaves. An additional crenellated coronet, formed of plain wood is attached to the inner face of the coronet, following its structure.
