Heirloom Metallic Papercut
Art By Enya Keshet
Description
Jewish Tradition is a corner stone of the way we live our life, and a precious heirloom is always cherished. Much more than a beautiful Ketubah, here is a capsule of the art of generations, culminating in the eternal manuscripts of 15th Century Lisbon, from which the ornaments of this Ketubah originate. The bottom panel carries the depiction of a good match as the fine grapes of two vines are brought together and greeted by society. The verses are from Song of Songs 7:12-14: “Come my beloved, let us go into the fields; let us lodge in the country side. We shall rise early to the vineyards, to see if the vine has flowered, its blossoms opened; to see if the pomegranates are in bloom. There I shall give my love to you. The mandrakes yield their fragrance, and at our door are all choice fruits.”

About the Artist
Enya Keshet
Enya Keshet was born in Pardes Hanna, Israel. As a young woman she moved to Jerusalem, where she studied at the Hebrew University and at Bezalel Academy of Art. Her friendship with a traditional scribe (sofer) led her to the idea of combining the art of paper cutting with the calligraphy of Megillot (scrolls). Her artwork has evolved extensively from this beginning. In 1994 she moved back to her hometown of Pardes Hanna, where her studio is today. A significant part of Enya’s work is in the style of the Lisbon manuscript workshop, which flourished at the end of the fifteenth century, a workshop which produced the famous Lisbon Bible and many other illuminated manuscripts currently in the collections of major museums in London, Paris, and New York.
