Description:
The New Seven Species Ketuba shows wheat,
barley, figs, olives, palm, pomegranates
and vines in rectangular sections surrounding
the text. The colours create a sense of
depth and richness, serenity and joy. It
is like a view from a home out into nature
through the medium of stained glass.
The tessalation beneath the text is formed
from two interlocking shapes, each different,
to make a whole, symbolic of the partnership
of man and woman. The supplementary texts
(tosafot) are from The Song of Songs,
Proverbs and the medieval Spanish poet,
Yehuda HaLevi.
