The wooden Torah Finial consists of a shaft, a body, and an apex. The cylindrical plain shaft rests on a base composed of two bands. The lower one is flat, the upper one is slightly rounded and terminated by a thin convex ring. The shaft tapers upward and is surmounted by a protruding ring and a domed compressed capital. The body is pear-shaped and plain, stretched upwards. The bud-shaped apex raised on a concave elongating base terminates the body.
