Ketubah with Shiviti – Yazd, 1872 – Micrograph Ornamentation
Ketubah recording the marriage of the groom Shlomo son of Moshe with the bride Sarah daughter of Yitzchak. Yazd, Adar Rishon 1872. Decorated with characteristic adornments of Shiviti. At the top is the inscription “Shiviti Hashem L’Negdi Tamid”, above three micrographic menorahs formed with the words of the Ana B’Ko’ach prayer and two Psalms. Above the two outer menorahs is G-d’s name (using the technique of coloring the space inside the letters). Between the menorahs are two more micrographic adornments, with various verses. The frame is made of half-circles composed of verses of Tehillim and Mishlei, some in acronyms. At the bottom is the Tosefet Ketubah in Judeo-Persian. Among the signatures is “Yosef son of R’ Or” [descendant of the Or Shraga and a Yazed sage]. 45X60 cm. Fair-good condition. Folding marks. Tears, some with restorations. Stains. Minor damage to text.
