The shield-shaped dedicatory plaque has a pointed multifoil top and a pointed reversed ogee-shaped bottom.
It bears a Hebrew inscription framed by a band, framed by a scrolled stem and following the form of the plaque. The inscription is arranged in eight lines and is written in square, outlined letters that read:
"אל/ שדי/ 'יברכך ה'/ וישמרך' (חלק מברכת כהנים - במדבר ו:כד) הנער/ משה שמואל י'ץ (ישמרהו צורו)/ והיה בבואו (לפי: שמות כח:כט; ויקרא י:יח, טז:כג; יחזקאל מד:כז) בק''ק (קהל קדוש)/ הישן בשנת/ התקכא ליצי (ליצירה)."
"El Shadai (God Almighty), 'May the Lord bless thee, and keep thee' (part of the Priestly Benediction - Num. 6:24), the lad Moses Samuel, may his Rock protect him. And when it (the plaque) goeth unto (the Sanctuary) (based on: Ex. 28:29; Lev. 10:18, 16:23; Ezek. 44:27), to the Old Holy Congregation, in the year 5521 to the Creation (1761)."
A suspension loop is attached to the top of the plaque.
