You are bidding on a section of an ancient Manuscript hand-written Torah Scroll Fragment in the Original Hebrew Language on Deer Parchment. This hand-written fragment is approximately 350-400 years old and made from Deer skin. This Scroll came from Yemen, it is prized for its beauty of its soft deer parchment and its beautiful writing. The scroll has a beautiful Reddish brown deep color like scrolls that come from early Yemen origins. This deep color is due to the process used in making the scroll, this process ages to a deeper red Brown color over the centuries. Torah Fragments like these are extremely rare and seldom seen in synagogues or available due to their age.
The Torah Scroll considering its age is well preserved and in good condition and will stay beautiful with care for centuries to come overall in good condition relative to its age.
How nice it would be to take a piece of hisotria of this Torah and frame it and present it in a dignified manner it will be well preserved for many years to come.
