While I was looking for something else, I came across some interesting drawings of Jewish temple implements. The MS is Levi ben Gershon's Commentary on the Pentateuch and the manuscript is from Avignon and has been precisely dated to 1429.

I'm not sure whether the illustrations are by the same scribe or are of precisely the same date as the rest of the manuscript, but in my judgement, they could be from the 1429 and I would be surprised if they were added more than 50 years after the main text based on the figural style.
Note that obviously Hebrew manuscripts are read right-to-left, and so semitic-language books generally start "at the back" from the viewpoint of a non-semitic reader, but the BL has foliated this manuscript like a non-semitic manuscript. All of the folio numbers that I have used correspond to what is on the BL's website. I've posted an image (f. 3r) of an elaborate cup or censer below (I can't read Hebrew unfortunately), but there's an interesting drawing (f. 1v) of the Sacrifice of Isaac that has some artistic features that are reminiscent of the VMS as well.
