Description
The following description was prepared by William Gross:
One of the rarer types of decoration in manuscripts made for the holiday of Purim is an illustration, or plan, of the Tomb of Mordechai and Esther, in present-day Iran in the city of Hamadan. Such sheets were probably originally painted there and then later in Eretz Israel as well. There are several printed items referring to the tomb, which still exists today and can be visited. When the Jewish community was larger, it was the primary pilgrimage site for the Jews in Iran and still is for those that remain.
