    I found this at a thrift store today. A image search called this a ketabbuh? which i think is a marriage license - any idea to tell how old it is?
    What are the figures on the back? Monetary wedding gifts?

    I also wsnted to show you a Sigfredo Pastor painting- I also found today. 1 of his works was even sold by Christie's!.
    Has anyone heard of him?
    Thoughts on the painting?

    Thank you!

    A ketubah is a traditional Jewish marriage contract, which stipulates each partner's rights & responsibilities. Looks like there might have been a reckoning of property brought to the union on the back.

    Apparently, Sigfredo Pastor was an Argentine painter. 1912-1994. He specialized in scenes of the tango. Amurado means "Walled." It's also the name of a tango.
