The dedicatory plaque is shaped as a reversed heart with serrated rims. It encloses the Priestly Benediction accompanied by a dedication and framed by a strip, which follows the plaque's form and is decorated with a linear pattern. The name of the Lord "El Shadai" (God Almighty) is written in larger square, outlined letters, while the following inscription is inscribed in semi cursive, linear letters. The inscription is arranged in eight lines and reads:

"אל/ שדי/ יברכך ה' ויש'' (וישמרך)/ יאר ה' פניו אליך/ ויחנך ישא ה' פניו/ אליך וישם לך שלום (ברכת כהנים - במדבר ו:כד-כו)/ הילד שב''תי יצחק/ ברוך ש' (שנת) התרנז."

"El Shadai (God Almighty), 'May the Lord bless thee and keep thee; the Lord make His face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee; The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace' (the Priestly Benediction - Num. 6:24-26), the boy Shabtai Isaac Baruch, the year 5657(1897)."

The serrated rims of the plaque are shaped as alternating blank and lined leaves. A loop with a suspension ring is attached to the top of the plaque.
