The Menorah design: On the middle branch of the Menorah, near the base was a flower and above it was a cup. Above these was a knob and then another flower. In the center of the middle branch were three knobs. From each one of these knobs, two branches extended, one to each side. At the top of each branch were three cups with almond shaped embellishments as well as a knob and flower. In total there were twenty two cups, nine flowers and eleven knobs.
