Description
Marriage contract of the Sephardi communities of the Strait region, heirs of the Spanish exiles. The decoration combines Andalusian arcades, interlace and sometimes European-inspired elements owing to commercial ties. The wording of the stipulations follows the Castilian tradition perpetuated by these so-called "megorashim" families.
