Description

Deerskin.

summary

Bezalel Narkiss, expressed certainty that the present script is Sephardic, 12th century. Indeed, it bears some resemblance to the naive style of the inscription on the tombstone from Leon Province, Spain, 1100, presently in the National Archeological Museum, Madrid. See EJ, Vol. XV, col. 224 (Figure 1)
400 x 100 mm.. Framed
