Birth Month Flower: January, Carnations (#6 of a series)
Ketubah(1789) [Source: ROM Collection]

I've learned that this lovely work of art is a Ketubah (Jewish marriage contract) which was given to the bride "for safekeeping and is often hung prominently in the home." It was created in Jerusalem during the Ottoman Period and this is reflected in the style of the border details.

I have to brag about this (but admittedly it is a very small group of people on mastodon who will get how cool this is)...

I just heard Dan mention something I said in an class in the most recent podcast episode!

FYI --- the reference was to my comment about the similarities of the wedding fcertificate and the of a wedding.
