This design shows the Havdalah scene at the end of Shabbat, with the ritual items used during Havdalah. The scene includes an open spice box, lit twisted Havdalah candle with multiple wicks, and a wine cup. The light rays emanating from the candle reach across the nighttime sky to light up the new week. They shed rays of light into the darkness, a symbol of hope and joy for the new week. The items are set on an embossed platter, set on a patterned tablecloth that includes leaves and stars. The spice box is based on traditional turreted towers and a door is flung open, revealing sweet-smelling spices like cloves. The set is decorated with gems and embossed patterns.
