Summary and Remarks

Through the tatter in the velvet at the case’s bottom, we can see that the body was originally painted. Each facet is decorated with a vertical frieze of flowers and leaves-bearing branches. Each frieze is encircled by a linear frame whose lower and upper edges are in the shape of a half hexagon.

In the second documentation taken in the synagogue in 1996, the object was missing.
