שויתי : וארשה, פולין, [המאה ה20?] - Abstract
-
Printed on paper with a green background. The document is in very poor shape and is pasted onto a hard backing. On the top are depicted the 12 tribes of Israel in a semi-circle, and immediately below is a six-pointed star with the traditional Hebrew shiviti statement: "I have set the Lord always before me". This statement is so faded as to be barely legible. On either side of the star are two circles. On the right side is a map of the Israelite travels in the desert and on the left a, map of the tribal settlement of Canaan. Below each circle are multiple scenes from biblical narrative history. These scenes include the Exodus from Egypt, the tabernacle in the desert, Jonah and the whale, and many more. In the center are two scenes from the Temple in Jerusalem. On the lower right corner of the document there is a statement in Russian, saying that the document was approved by the censor in Warsaw
