Catalogue Note
With a richly colored border design of scrolling vines and roses. Although the exact year of this ketubbah is no longer legible, the decorative elements surrounding the text are comparable to other ketubbot created in Rome circa 1865 (see for example the Ketubbah from Rome, 1866 now in the collection of the Mishkan L'Omanut, Museum of Art, Ein Harod #EH 145).
