A ketubah by Liza Maman is more than a marriage document — it is a hand-made work of art that stands beneath the chuppah and then lives on the wall of the couple's home, a lasting sign of their covenant. Bilingual Hebrew–English texts, with space for the personal details to be completed at the wedding, beside the witnesses and the rabbi.
The ketubah opens with the beloved verse from the Song of Songs (6:3) — a symbol of deep love, loyalty and mutuality. Around the bilingual text, a halo of delicate gold dots lends luxury and guardianship, and at the centre rests a gilded Star of David, laid in gold leaf, honouring Jewish tradition.
Written in precise nib calligraphy with kosher ink on 300gsm cold-pressed cotton paper. After the celebration, the ketubah is made to hang in the couple's home.
Dreaming of a ketubah made entirely for you? Each commission is created in close dialogue with the couple, in hand-drawn Hebrew calligraphy with a calligraphy nib, wreathed in a hand-painted acrylic dot ornament.
Personal details in this example have been blurred to protect the couple's privacy.
