Folded rectangular sheet amulet; blue ink print; braided outer border with inner text border on three sides; text and floral border divides the page vertically into three sections; a large seven-branched menorah with Temple vessels appears under a floral-patterned arch at center, flanked by smaller versions on rightand left with Hebrew inscriptions (Ana be-Koach and Psalm sixty-seven in menorah configuration); frames in corners with mystical symbols - lower symbols have childbirth protection texts.
A very attractive Shiviti, the page also carries at the bottom corners painted copies of the three angels as depicted in Raziel Hamalach. It is filled with symbols, including those angels, the Hands of the Cohanim, Temple Implements, the Menorah, and Hebrew tests from the tradition. These are all the traditional symbols used on Shivitis from Morocco, but here the style seems to be more modern than in most of the Moroccan Shivitis in the Gross Family Collection. The pattern of bricks on which the Shiviti is written most probably represent the Kotel.

As is typical, this shiviti includes in the center at the top a tetragrammaton—the four Hebrew letters yud, he, vay, he, indicating the four letter, ineffable name of God—and two psalms (67 and 121) and a kabbalistic liturgical poem, ana be-koach. This shiviti includes, the 22 and 72-letter names of God, the Ten Commandments, and the names of the protective angels, Sanoi, Sansanoi, and Semangalaf.
