Shofar Hunting Horn
The "Tripartite Mahzor" in the David Kaufmann collection ((MS A 384) was written in Southern Germany around 1320. It shows a horn being blown in a hunting scene. This is a curious image for a Hebrew prayerbook. However other images in the volume suggest that the illumination was done by a gentile artist using themes that were familiar to him from work on non-Jewish manuscripts.
