Barcelona Haggadah
Folio 17
Folio 17
Depicts a family ‘They come from the prayer gathering, the wine is poured’ Although the page is worn, there is plenty of joyous activity as zoomorphic figures and Putti blow their horns, an owl presides over a hare and dog which are chasing each other. Two butterflies at the top of the page and a peacock frame the Passover meal scene. The family sit at a festive table adorned with a white tablecloth embroidered with a blue chequered design and Stars of David. Two bearded men at the bottom of the page drink from a gold cup.
Leaf size is approximately 255 x 190mm (10 x 7.5in)
