In the side borders, beneath theatrical drapery and trumpets suspended from ribbons, fanciful column bases are surmounted by urns. Several elements in the marriage contract are characteristic of Gibraltar <i>ketubot</i>. The initial word of the wedding day, Wednesday, as was common, is enlarged and ornamented.
