The illustration shows the triumph of Mordecai. He rides on horseback that is lead through the city by Haman who proclaims Mordecai's glory. The scene is labeled ויקרא לפניו ככה יעשה לאיש ‒ "(…) and proclaimed before him. Thus shall it be done unto the man (…)" (Es. 6:11).
The scroll features a mixture of Persian miniatures with Western-orientalist symbolic elements characteristic for Raban's works.
Toward the end of the 1920s, the Bezalel School produced two printed Esther scrolls with illustrations that were later hand-colored. For the bigger one, see 081.012.051. This is the smaller of the two and was apparently printed in 1927, placed in a silver case, and sent to supporters of the Bezalel School abroad.
No bibliography on the scroll is available.
