Ketubah.com and the Jewish Museum have collaborated to bring together a beautiful selection of Ketubahs culled from the Museum's collection of Marriage Contracts. The Museum Collection features ketubah designs adapted from original works from around the world that date as far back as the 1600s. Their timeless artwork decorates modern texts and provides a reminder of the long history and tradition behind signing the ketubah.
This ketubah was adapted from a marriage contract, from Monselice (Italy), 1659, in the collection of the Jewish Museum. On Italian marriage contracts, each family's coat of arms was often included; here they are depicted in shields above and below the text. The groom's coat of arms was a pair of blessing hands surmounted by the crown of priesthood. A rooster perched on a branch, with a crescent half-moon and three stars above, was the bride's family emblem.
Available in different sizes and text options, including custom text.
Member's discount is only available when the ketubah is purchased through the Jewish Museum Shop.
