The angels on it have been said to number two or four, depending upon the divine instructions given to Moses and recorded in the Book of Exodus:

Make one cherub on one end, and one cherub on the other end; of one piece with the mercy seat shall you make the cherubim on its two ends. The cherubim shall spread their wings, their faces one to another; toward the faces of the mercy seat shall the cherubims be" (25:18-20).
According to legend, the names of the two cherubims on it were Jael and Zarall.
