On vellum

Blessings for the bride and groom serve as a decorative border around the text, which is written in Italian block letters. There are no decorative images. The blessings that surround the text appear in many ketubot. They express the wish that God bless the bride and groom as God blessed Adam and Eve, Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebecca, and Jacob and Rachel and Leah.
