Huppa LGBTQIA+ with Calligraphy
The border on this hand-aged ketubah is an accurate facsimile of one from an illuminated Hebrew manuscript illustrating the words of the prophet Amos (700 BCE). The woodcut scene of a chuppah (bridal canopy) is Dutch and dates back to CE 1723. The aging effects of time and atmosphere have added new dimension to the original manuscript, as they will to this unique ketubah.
The ancient Hebrew ritual of signing a marriage contract between the families of a bride and groom has been adapted by Good Company to celebrate the union of gay and lesbian couples. The language that makes the ketubah uniquely Jewish has been replaced with prose that permits both same sex partners to feel comfortable about signing the wedding document. It integrates powerful symbolism with egalitarian language that enables couples to formally express their mutual commitment in this modern age. Handmade paper 11"x14" give or take ½" either direction.
