Sarajevo Haggadah: Joseph’s dreams

Artist name: Unknown artist

In the upper panel, Joseph, asleep in his bed, dreams of eleven small sheaves bowing to his large sheaf; above him, he sees eleven stars and the sun and moon. In the lower panel, little Joseph stands in front of his eleven brothers, facing Jacob, who is seated on a throne. All of the figures wag their fingers at Joseph in rebuke.
