The Elijah's Rod is made of a cylindrical wooden rod terminating in a knob.
The upper part of the rod and the knob are covered by silver plateing. The upper shaft portion bears a dedicatory inscription. The knob is decorated by scaly and foliate pattern. A Star^of^David~ is atop the knob, and is inscribed: ציון !Zion!
