<p style='text-align: justify;'>Part of a marriage contract (ketubba) in the hand of Hillel b. ʿEli (active 1066-1108 CE), largely preserving the trousseau portion of the document. The trousseau list includes a garment of dabbīqī (linen), a wimple, a gilded veil and a sky-blue veil, several garments, a sky-blue skull cap of dabbīqī linen and a gilded dark-blue headband. Mentions Nathaniel ha-Levi but it is not clear if he is the groom or the father of one of the parties.</p>
