The stem part has the shape of a six-sided baluster or vase with below it the stand ring, the openings of which are marked with one to six points. The acorn-shaped sphere has an engraved Hebrew inscription. The profiled knob ends in a small knoblet and is attached to the rod with the eye at the top for the wedge pin. The arms, which are marked at the attachments with one point or three to six points, are S-shaped, have curls at the end on the stem side and pass outwards into a thickening with a screw hole. In it candle holders with the drip pans are fixed. The round holders have a concave foot, taper upwards and then have a protruding edge.
