The purple parokhet is made of velvet .

The parokhet is rectangular. A dedicatory inscription in a wreath of flowers depicts the center of parokhet. The priestly benediction hands appear above the inscription. It is topped by a curtain-like motif bearing five-and-five Tablets of the Covenant and surmounted by a Torah Crown. The curtain-like motif is flanked by two crowned rampant lions looking backwards. An inscription appears at both sides of the Torah Crown, and reads: כתר  תורה "Crown of Torah"
