Gabriel. The center of the stem is the first letter of Hannuka, the "het",

of Gabriel's birth - 5716. Etched on the right side of the base is the
famous bas relief found on the arch of Triumph showing Titus' soldiers

On the left side of the base there
is a detail from the famous modern sculpture by Rappaport, situated in
the judean Hills, showing the pioneers bring the candelabrum back to Jerusalem.
