The Birds' Head Haggadah is the earliest illuminated German Haggadah extant as an independent book. It is distinguished by its exceptional 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. Most of the figures are depicted wearing the so-called Judenhut ("Jewish Hat"), the conical head covering Jews were legally required to wear in Germany. The illustrations depict various biblical scenes, holiday customs and the final redemption.
