The dedicatory plaque is an arched rectangle, topped by a pointed multifoil crest.
It bears a Hebrew inscription, arranged in fourteen lines and written in square, linear letters. The top encloses the name of the Lord El Shadai (God Almighty), while the bottom contains the
dedicatory inscription that reads:
"'ברוך המקום שנתן תורה לישראל'/ התכסיט (התכשיט)/ הזה עם הפרוכת/ שהיא מרוקם זהב בצורות/ לבנה נכנסו ונעשו מהגבאות/ של הר' (הרב) ברוך יעקב לוי יצ''ו (ישמרהו צורו ויחיהו)/ ושל הר' (הרב) שמואל קופיני יצ''ו (ישמרהו צורו ויחיהו)/ בעבודתם עבודת הקדש/ והאל ברחמיו המרובים/ יזכם במצות ובמעשים/ טובים אחרים והיה זה/ בשנת 'אשריך ישראל' (דברים לג:כט) לפ''ק (לפרט קטן)."
" 'Blessed be God who gave the Torah to Israel.' This ornament with the parokhet that was embroidered with gold crescents (see: Remarks: no. 2), were made from the donation of the Rabbi Baruch Jacob Levi, may his Rock protect and sustain him, and of the Rabbi Samuel Coffini, may his Rock protect and sustain him, in their work which is a holy service. And (thus) may the Lord in His mercy grant them to duties and to other good deeds and it was (dedicated) in the year 'happy art thou, O Israel' (Deut. 33:29)."
The sum of the letters of the marked word 'אשריך' indicates the year (5)531=1771, (see: Remarks: no. 3).
The plaque is framed by a broad strip, which is decorated with a scrolled branch.
A loop for a chain carrying a bell is attached to the bottom of the plaque.
