Two splits,one on each side,are at the bottom of the cloth. It is decorated from top to bottom: A Torah Crown flanked by an inscription in square filled letters which reads: "כתר תורה" "Torah Crown" It is mounted over the Tablets of Covenant which are flanked by two Rampant Lions. Inside the Tablets of Covenant are the first few letters of the Tablets. Beneath the Tablets of Covenant there is a Flower bowl with leaves and one flower.
