DescriptionA cedar carving swirls up from the base to form an image of Moses at the top. His arms and fingers are extended toward the sky. The figure is carved from one piece of wood with much of the branch carved away revealing an interior and exterior of brown, white, and sections of gray bark. The figure is attached to a diamond-shaped brown base. Also, on the base are two white wood tablets with Hebrew letters representing the Ten Commandements.
