The Birds' Head Haggadah is the earliest illuminated German Haggadah known to have survived as a separate codex, independent of the prayer book. It is distinguished by its extraordinarily unique illustrations of human figures with birds' heads – a most peculiar innovation likely devised by the illustrator as a means of abiding by the biblical prohibition against rendering a graven image: "Thou shalt not make for thyself any graven image, nor any manner of likeness…" (Exodus 20:4). Most of the figures are depicted wearing the so-called "Jewish Hat" (German: "Judenhut, ") the conical head covering Jews in Germany were legally required to wear. The illustrations present various biblical scenes alongside depictions of holiday customs and envisionings of the Redemption.
