Abstract:

Marriage contract, manuscript, ink and paint on paper, dated 15th of Elul 5652 at Tang�ar (1892). A red ornamental printed border encloses the text that is written in Sefardic script with the names of the bride and groom written in large block Hebrew letters. Above the text are blessings for the bride and groom in larger block Hebrew letters that are decorated in a floral design. The groom�s signature appears below the text. The word ""Hai"" appears in the center of the text towards the bottom as is common in Moroccan ketubot, however, here it is quite elaborately decorated.
