 As part of the duo "Ecclesia et Synagoga" the blindfolded Synagoga adorned Gothic cathedrals as architectural sculpture and can be found in illustrations of religious manuscripts from that period.This iconography of the blindfolded woman was emphasized when Synagoga's blindfold occasionally was depicted as a coiled serpent.Another early representation of a blindfolded woman is found in a 14th-century prayer book where a blindfolded woman, Torah, is shown with her spouse.
