Lot 072:
Ketubah written with very pretty handwriting, with integrated Assyrian and Yemenite script, written around 85 years ago (1044) in Qa’eh Bir Al-Azbn (also called Qa’eh Al-Yehud, the Valley of the Jews, in Arabic: قاع بير العزب), a Jewish neighborhood built by Sanaa Jews in 1680 after returning from an expulsion when they were not allowed to return to their homes in Sanaa—they instead built a new neighborhood outside the walls of the city and lived there from the 17th century until the great Aliyah in 1949. It is today also called “Qa’eh Al-Ulufi”.
Signed by the rabbis Maari Shalom Korach and Maari Yehi Albadichi. On the back is the listing of the property given to the wife by the husband, signed by the rabbis. Size: 24x36cm. Professionally repaired, folding creases.
