A simply engraved back plate has a large raised flower design welded on, with a bold piece of red glass or garnet in the center. Above this on each side are groupings of circles, and directly above the flower is a raised Star of David, with a oil font in the center. Above the oil font is a thick silver design of an embellished leaf.
Two side panels are decorated again etching and large red shiny stones, this time in center of Stars of David. The panels open towards the sides with hinges allowing for removal. A row of fluted oil fonts with pinched spouts is attached to the back plate.
It is not known exactly how old this item is, but it is pre-1950, when most Jews left Morocco. This item was found in central Morocco, and perhaps comes from the historic Jewish enclave in Essaouira.
