Roland,
Use nested tables:
<fo:table table-omit-header-at-break="false">
<fo:table-column column-width="3cm"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="17cm"/>
<fo:table-header>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block> <!-- Your image here --> </fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell />
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table-header>
<fo:table-body>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell />
<fo:table-cell>
<!-- Your current table (text only) -->
<fo:table table-omit-header-at-break="false">
...
</fo:table>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
Cheers,
Roland
