Rothschild Machzor

The Tablets of Stone and a shofar pierce the veil of heaven as Moses receives the Law. This detail is from the Rothschild Machzor (1490) with part of Perkei Avot.

Another shofar from page 43 of 50. Artistically, the curve of the shofar is repeated in the horn from which the person emerges, and in the curly tendrils of the floral motif.
