Artwork description

The scroll is a decorated megillah by noted Israeli artist Ya'akov Agam. Produced on parchment, this limited edition included a silk-screened border by the artist, with text handwritten by a scribe. In this Scroll of Esther, the traditional text is adorned with distinctly modern and brilliantly colored artwork. Agam has also embellished the scroll with abstract imagery from the Esther story including a scene of Haman leading Mordechai on horseback and a pair of dice, a reference to both the lots that Haman drew to determine the exact date on which to annihilate the Jewish people as well as to the element of chance which is present in the Purim story.
