Jacob’s twelve sons had 53 sons and only one daughter – Serah Bat Asher, who is named among the seventy souls who went down to Egypt with Jacob
From the “Etz Haim”
Series: WOMEN IN THE BIBLE: SERAH BAT ASHER TRIPTYCH
Title: Serah Went to Egypt
Size: 1.40m x 1.85m (55in x 73in)
Shown: design for tapestry
The figure of Serah appears in the first design of the Serah Bat Asher Triptych.
Serah can be seen to project her own light among the large number of souls entering the land of the South.
Leaning one into the other, the characters move in the mood of a dance, a long walk in front of them—a big adventure that impels their spirits forward.
The bittersweet colors of the figures used in this tapestry are very similar to those used in the background—with the intention of integrating one with the other.
