Haggadah
1966

An artistic rendering of a menorah with a mosaic design in shades of blue and purple, set against a cream-colored background with decorative green vines and Hebrew text in gold and black. The text appears to be a traditional Jewish blessing or prayer, and there is a signature in red on the bottom right corner.
