Table Decorated with Passover Scenes and Floral Decorations
Gift of Isaiah and Ethel Fishman
Id no. 521.92, Other, Hebrew
The decorations are characteristic of Persian decorative art. At the center of the base, there is a Star of David with the Hebrew word “Zion” painted in the center. On the top is a painting of an old Jewish man and a young Jewish boy seated at the table. The man, a teacher, holds open the Passover haggadah. Above, the Hebrew word “matzoh” is written, as well as a quotation from the Haggadah about bitter herbs.
