The silver amulet is composed of two joined plaques, and a hanger. The plaques are oval and convex and they have a weavy rim. Both sides bear on the centre a heart shaped cartouche bearing the word: שדי "Shaddai", surmounting a floral cartouche. Around the cartouche, the plaques bear a decoration of volutes. On both sides of the plaque two Temple Implements are attached. On side A: The Seven Branched Menorah and the Tablets of the Law and on side B: the Mitre and the Incense Burner. The amulet is surmounted by a graded baldachin composed of a valance, a geometrical row and a grooved dome. The baldachin is topped by a trefoil hanger. A cluster of grapes is attached to the bottom of the plaques.
