Fragment (left side) of a late illuminated ketubba.
Ketubba that has been badly damaged yet a portion of the dowry is still visible as "עשר אלף מיידיס כסף..." (10,000+ silver medin). The mention of this coinage along with the paleography help to date the ketubba fragment as 16th-19th-century. Portions of the bridal gifts are still legible as "חריר/silk", "קומאש/cloth", and a "קפטאן/robe". At the lower border of the document one of the witnesses' signatures remains from Nissim Terez[?] ("תרז"). MCD.

Marriage document dated 13 December 1799 (15 Kislev 5560) from Cairo, for Yiṣḥaq b. Avraham Muḥibb and Palomba bt. Shalom ha-Levi. The me'ukhar is 20,000 muayyadis of silver. The middle signature appears to be that of David b. Naʿim but this is uncertain because it is so stylized. The signature on the left is Yaʿaqov Yuʿbaṣ.
