Barcelona Haggadah

Folio 40

He went down to Egypt … and sojourned there.’ He [Jacob] went down to Egypt’, is illustrated in the lower margin where Jacob is seated in a horse-drawn two-wheeled carriage, preceded by a male attendant blowing a horn and followed by two men, the first of whom holds a whip, and by two women.
Verso, the foliate border design is transformed into long, flat leaves by the artist who added their colour. The two hybrid figures at the foot of the page under the gilded word panel, wear the tall hats commonly seen on men in this manuscript.
Leaf size is approximately 255 x 190mm (10 x 7.5in)
