Decorated parchment ketubah, for the wedding of Yaakov son of Moshe son of Shem Tov Sequeira and Chanah daughter of Avraham son of Yitzchak son of Moshe son of Yitzchak son of Yeshuah son of Yitzchak HaLevi. Lisbon, Portugal, 4th Tamuz 5692 [June 29, 1892].

Ink and paint on parchment.

Ketubah on large parchment sheet decorated with a large, colorful flower arrangement, an elegant crown and fabric ribbons, with initials of the names of the groom and bride written at the bottom in Latin characters. Ketubah decorations very similar to ketubot produced in Gibraltar in the last decades of the 19th century, attesting to the link between both communities. The ketubah text follows the rite of the exiles from Spain. Signatures of groom and witnesses at edge of ketubah text.

60X70 cm. Overall good condition. Some creases and stains. Minor damage to paint.
