20 Description

Esther scrolls representing this family are produced in mixed technique - the decorative border is printed and colored by hand while the Hebrew text of the Book of Esther is penned by a scribe. The opening and final sections are precisely filled with a rich decoration formed of tendrils, flowers, and animals (the latter contains no animal figures). The upper and lower margins are adorned with repeating endless knot motifs alternating with cartouches enclosing more than thirty scenes that chronicle the Book of Esther narrative. The text panels, in which nineteen text columns are included, are interspersed by floral decoration. The same scheme repeats on all three sheets forming each exemplar. Many of decorative elements are common with Klagsbald scrolls (see...).

Sewn by sinew threads. The edge at the end of the scroll is cropped straight and is perforated with four holes which were probably used for holding the (missing) roller. The opening edge is cut in the shape of a multifoil arch.
36 Decoration Program

The margins and intercolumnar spaces enclose copperplate decorations.The top and bottom margins enclose 20 cartouches, each enclosing one or two text illustrations. The cartouches are interspersed with a labyrinth motif. The intercolumnar spaces enclose panels of stylized floral motifs. The margins at the begining and end of the megillah are decorated with floral scrolls. The scrolls at the beginning are inhabited by the "Four animals" (Ethics of the Fathers, 5:23) and the symmetrical scrolls at the end extend from stylized vases. Both margins contain an empty cartouche.The copperplate decorations are colored by hand in yellow, green, olive, blue, red and bordeaux.
