antique Torah scroll, a handwritten on leather - 1800

Expert

Selected by Jonathan Devaux

This is a Torah scroll, a handwritten copy of the first five books of the Hebrew Bible (the Pentateuch). The scroll appears to be an antique fragment, possibly from Morocco, characterized by its warm brown-colored parchment, which deepens with age. Torah scrolls are written in Hebrew by a qualified calligrapher on vellum or parchment made from the skin of a kosher animal. The text is the five Books of Moses: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. The scroll in the image appears to be an aged fragment, possibly several centuries old. 39.5X10 cm sku-119
