Date: ca. 1800 Language: Hebrew Material: Parchment Origin: Meknes?, Morocco Repository: Braginsky Collection Classmark: S91 Description: Influenced by the Islamic culture of North Africa, this megillah (on three sheets with 19 columns of text) dispenses with figurative representations and uses the formal language of Islamic art with its manifoldly varied ornaments. The text is adorned by an arcade that extends over the entire scroll. The decoration most closely resembles that of some ketubot from the city of Meknes in Morocco IIIF Manifest: https://www.e-codices.unifr.ch/metadata/iiif/bc-s-0091/manifest.json
