The tower-like rimon is made of silver and consists of a shaft, a body and an apex.

The shaft is tapering and cylindrical and is encircled by a ring at its bottom. An identical ring encircles the head of the shaft. The body has an hexagonal tower like shape and is mounted over a bowled shaped body base. It is surmounted by a dome cap. Each facet of the body base is limited by vertical lines. The upper edge of each facet is decorated with a bunch of leaves. Each facet of the body is decorated with a central and oval medallion surmounted by a palmette. At each corner of the facet is a flower. Between the facets a round column is attached whose capital are surmounted by flowers. Beneath each column a leaf decoration is attached. Six chains hang from those leaves carrying flower like bells. The cap is mounted over the main section of the body and it is decorated in a similar way to the body base. An acorn apex is mounted over a faceted disc.
