The design of the base is divided into two registers.  The upper contains a gabled Ark of the Law, its open doors revaling three shelves of scrolls.  It is flanked by birds.  In the lower register, a seven-branched menorahs flanked by two lions, an oil flask, a palm branch (lulav), citron (etrog) and ram's horn (shofar) are depicted.
