The silver rimon consists of a shaft, a body, a head and an apex. ##The tapering cylindrical shaft has a slant-cut bottom, encircled by a ring at the bottom. It is surmounted by a globular capital. Each shaft bears a dedicatory inscription engraved in linear letters. Rimon A reads: קודש להשם מאת חנה## קאשי בת שוקרי רחמים !Dedicated to the Lord from Hana ## Kashi daughter of Shukri Rahamim! The dedicatory inscription on Rimon B is identical, except that להדוני replaces ldym The pear-shaped body consists of a bowl-shaped body base and an angular collared main section. Eight rings with chains carrying slit drop-shaped bells are attached to the main section. ##The base is decorated with a whorl of petals, and with two bands with geometrical patterns. The main part is decorated with flowers flanked by facing birds. ##The conical head is decorated with a geometrical band, and is surmounted by a whorl of petals radiating from the apex. A flat apex in the shape of a Star of David is mounted over a circlet, and bears the inscription: ציון !Zion!
