Henna Hands Ketubah
by Judith Joseph
Ketubah Description
In some exotic places in the world, the bride ornaments her hands with intricate henna designs to celebrate her marriage. In this Henna Hands Ketubah, the joyous designs encircling the Ketubah have over-spilled their bounds, to glow upon the hands of the bride and groom as they reach for each other. Floating atop the exuberant painting is a hamsa for good luck, flanked by doves of peace and a tree of life.
