About this work

The object consists of a round wrought-iron rod, a hanging ring with a wrought-iron eye, a split pin of sheet copper, and the following cast and turned parts of yellow copper: the stem part with the base ring, the ball, and the knob. The stem part has the shape of a hexagonal baluster or vase with the base ring below it, the openings of which are marked with one to six points. The acorn-shaped ball has an engraved Hebrew inscription. The profiled knob ends in a small knob and is attached to the rod with the eye for the split pin at the top.
