Turtledove Ketubah by Mickie Caspi

The Turtledove Ketubah features two turtledoves representing devotion and faithfulness, perched on grape vines, symbols of peace and abundance. Quotes from the biblical love poem, the Song of Songs, are delicately written in gold foil calligraphy. The original artwork for the Turtledove Ketubah was created using pen & ink and watercolor and then printed in Israel on archival lithographic paper.

• אני לדודי ודודי לי
• I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine
• מצאתי את שאהבה נפשי
• I have found the one in whom my soul delights
  
• טובים דדיך מיין
• Thy love is sweeter than wine!
• My beloved spoke and said to me, Rise up, my love, my fair one and come away. For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle dove is heard in our land. The fig tree puts forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give forth their fragrance – Song of Songs II:10-13
