Description

Celestial Jerusalem Ketubah

The Celestial Jerusalem Ketubah by Mickie Caspi is a pastiche of color and texture, a fanciful rendition of Jerusalem that is blessed by doves of peace. Using Gouache, an opaque watercolor paint, Mickie has created vibrant colors that are accented with gold foil highlights. The artwork accentuates the centrality of the marriage vows at the beginning of a couple’s life together.

For the B- Traditional Aramaic with Contemporary English (Orthodox) text, the two witnesses sign in both Hebrew & English.
