Highly sought after by collectors a Complete Sefer Torah Scroll (the 5 books of Moses) Approximately 150-200 yrs old from india. The 5 Books, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers & Deuteronomy are all hand written in the ancient original Hebrew language and script on deer parchment.Written with black ink on gevil, (i.e. parchment made from the whole hide rather than split, processed for writing on the hair side only, and prepared with a mixture of salt, flour and mey afatzim [wasp residue/gall-nut water] resulting in the typical brown color of a Spanish Torah Scroll;). All section tightly sewn with natural animal string called "Giddin which is made from the leg sinews of a kosher animal. I have added quite a few pictures from all different parts of the scroll please review pictures as part of the description. Occasional erasures or patches with corrected text clearly written over, occasional defects in sewing between membranes, sometimes repaired by vellum patches on verso, occasional tears. Complete scrolls of this age are seldom seen in synagogues or available due to their age. The scroll considering its age is preserved and in good condition and will stay beautiful with care for centuries to come. I am not listing this scroll as kosher which does not effect the beauty of this scroll. I have added quite a few pictures from all different parts of the scroll for you to see, please view photos as part of the description.
