Eight vases with wide rims are attached to the base in a straight row with screws. The backplate is made of thin die-cut sheet metal and has a shape resembling a cartouche. It is decorated with a rocaille ornament along the rim and topped with a hoop crown with five visible arches. In the centre of the backplate, there is an image of a seven-armed candlestick supported by lions standing on hind legs. Above, near the right and the left upper corner of the backplate, there are hooks for attaching the shammash and an oil jug. The company hallmark is punched on the back wall of the backplate, near the bottom edge: “JAKUBOWSKI JARRA”.
