The lamp base is rectangular, set on four legs with the front two being richly decorated. A narrow movable bar was attached to the base, on which eight oil vessels were placed. All vessels are covered with hoods. The lamp screen is shaped like an arcade topped with a closed crown. The arcade is decorated on the sides with columns and lions standing on their hind legs. Inside, it is filled with a symmetrical composition – the Tables of the Covenant, framed in a cartouche and surrounded by two branches of laurel, are visible against the backdrop of a parted curtain. Above the lion on the right, there is an oil jug.

Five different marks are stamped on the individual parts of the lamp:

– AA monogram (letters stamped separately);

– mark of the Silberwarenfabrik Alexander Sturm company – in a circle a four-leaf clover;

– mark of the Vienna assay office – in a rosette: the number three, the head of the goddess Diana facing right and the letter A.

– the fifth mark, stamped only on the jug, is unidentified.

The object was purchased for the collection of the District Museum in Rzeszów in 1984.
