The brass tower like rimon consists of a shaft, a body and an apex. ## The octagon shaft is supported by a raised round base. A petal pattern encircles the bottom of the shaft. The upper part of the base is decorated with a whorl. The shaft bears an inscription. ##The body is hexagonal and it has the shape of two deminishing faceted tiers . The main section is mounted over a tiered bowled body base and is surmounted by a dome cap. ##Each facet of the body is pierced and it is divided into two vertical bands. The two are pierced with an open round window. Each window is surrounded by leaves. A flower is attached between the two windows on each facet. Bells are hanging from some of the window. A ring, carrying a chain with a conical bell, is attached to the lower corners of the facets. The base of the body and the cap are decorated with an openworked foliate pattern. The pomegrannate-shaped apex is mounted over a whorl. The inscription is engraved on each alternating facet of the shaft and reads towards the body in outline letters: הקדש שהקדישה מרת מזל טוב אשת##הר" יצחק אבודרהם נ"ע למנוחת בעלה##שנפטר בכ"ט בכסליו ש' תרפ"ו לספר של##אביה כה"הר שם טוב בן מרגי זל ה"ה "The dedication was dedicated by Mrs. Nazal Tov wife##of the Rabbi Isaac Abudrham, may he rest in Eden, for the rest of her husband##who passed away on 29th Kislev (5)686 (16.12.1925), for the book of her father, the honourable Rabbi, R. Shem Tov son of Margi, of blessed memory, The Rabbi the Magid"
