Scroll of Esther for the Purim Festival

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image is a scanned or photographed page from a book, likely a scroll. The page contains text written in Hebrew, arranged in columns. The text is in black ink on a yellowed background, suggesting age. The text is written in a traditional or calligraphic font. The columns of text are separated by narrow spaces. The page has visible signs of aging, including stains and discoloration. The text fills most of the page, with minimal margins. The page appears to be from a religious text, given the language and style. The title of the work is "Scroll of Esther for the Purim Festival" and the artist is unknown.
