DescriptionThis is a mezuzah with a central flower design of pink and green on a white background. The Mezuzah is a long vertical rectangle, with a base of green and a raised inner rectangle of white. Within the white there is another black rectangle with yellow dots at the corners that borders a flower design. The design is of pink flowers on a green and yellow stem that points downwards, and are painted on a pink background. Beneath this design there is also the Hebrew letter "Shin" which stands for "Shaddai" meaning "Almighty" that has been painted in black. This is a symbol on all mezuzah cases. There are two holes on each vertical end of the mezuzah.
