- One of many biblical scenes found on the walls of the mid-third century synagogue at
Dura-Europos in Syria when the building was uncovered in 1932. Moses is shown leading the
children of Israel out of Egypt and across the Red Sea, aided by the strong right arm of God. - The base of a glass
vessel, which was to be
affixed near a burial
niche as a tomb marker,
from fourth-century
Rome. The gold-leaf
design, fixed between
two layers of translucent
glass, shows a Torah ark
with three layers of
scrolls, above a menorah.
