The silver rimon consists of a shaft and a body. The tapering, cylindrical shaft is surmounted by a conical capital. The shaft bears an inscription engraved in linear letters. All the alephs are in Rashi script. The inscription reads from the capital towards the bottom: !ארור הגונב וארור הקונה וארור המוכר! !Cursed be the thief and cursed be the ubyer and cursed be the seller! The flat Star of David shaped body is decorated with a bond of a stamped floral pattern. The other face bears inscriptions engraved in linear letters which read:

!כי מציון תצא תורה ודבר ## ה' מירושלים! ## !ברוך המקום שנתן תורה ## לעמו ישראל ונה' ## !תורה צווה לנו משה מורש)ה( ## קהלת יעקב! Is. 2:3, followed by:!Blessed be the Lord who gave the Torah to his people, Israel (Passover Haggadah)! ,

Followed by Deut 33:4 !וזאת התורה אשר שם ## משה לב!י ##תורה צווה לנו משה מורשה קהלת יע'## כי מציון תצא תורה ודבר ## מירושלים Deut.4:44, Deut. 33:4, Is. 2:3

The dedicatory inscriptions read: !לנשמת מודור בן אבא ## ושמואל בנו ורחל ביתו מורד## והבחור שמואל בנו וכול)ם( ## קודש ליהוה!

!For the soul of Modor son of Aba ## and his son Samuel and daughter Rachel Modor ## and the youth Samuel, his son and all,##dedicated to the Lord!

! לנשמת פואור )?( בן חבא ## ושמואל = בנו ורחל ורודר ביתו## יכולדתי = משפחתותנצב!ה ## קודש ליה'!
