content: A plaque for hanging in a sukkah, made of paper and nailed to a wooden stretcher. The plaque is decorated in red, green, and black gouache. A Hebrew inscription in large square letters is set within an oval garland. Along the edges is a series of symbols relating to the holiday of sukkot and vegetal motifs. Clockwise, from the upper right, are a flowering urn, a lulav in a molded frame, a date palm, a Star of David in a shield, a leafy bush, a lulav, and finally a flowering urn.  The symbols refer to the objects prescribed in Leviticus 23:40.  In the oval on ruled lines: "...that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God." Lev. 43-44.
