The silver Torah Pointer consists of a bar, a pointer and a hanger.

The bar is divided into upper and lower arms by a spheroid joint, decorated with a geometric pattern. An identical joint tops the bar, with a ring at the center. A chain is hung from the ring.

The tapering upper arm is smooth at its lower part and decorated with a leaf pattern at its upper part. The lower arm is twisted and terminates with a wide sleeve that is decorated with two zig-zag lines and a branch between them.

The bar terminates with a clenched hand with a crooked index finger.
