DateBetween 1400 and 1699Description
Portion of Torah scroll consisting of the later part of Genesis, starting at Genesis 31:15, starting in the middle of a story. There are around 30 chapters missing, and stitch holes on the first page show how there was once additional content. In chapter 48, the ink and material changes. Finishes at 50:24, with two verses missing, potentially indicating that the scribe ran out of space. Goatskin scroll on sandalwood rollers, consisting of 7 sheets which form a continuous surface. There is decorative detailing on some letters which is non obstructive.
