© Center for Jewish Art, Photographer: Radovan, Zev, 11.2.1992

The picture represents a man from the waist up, with his mirror image below, in a playing card- like manner. The man is wearing a green garment under a black robe. He has a golden dagger in a coloured belt around his waist. His head is turned slightly to the left. He has a small blond beard and a hooked nose. He has a sour look on his face. He wears a red and green turban. In his left hand he holds a sceptre, and in his right hand a rolled parchment with a red seal. On the upper left corner and on the lower right corner the sign clover is drawn in pencil.
