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.
