Antique Yemenite Torah Scroll Fragment 300+ Yrs - Genesis Noah's Ark Red Vellum
Description:
AMAZING MUSEUM COLLECTIBLE!
You are bidding on an incredibly rare, ancient manuscript—a genuine Torah scroll fragment handwritten in authentic Hebrew on wild deer skin parchment. Dating back approximately 300 to 350 years, this magnificent piece originates from a synagogue of Yemeni Jews and was brought to Israel by immigrants in the 1950s.
Prized for its beautiful script and the unique texture of the deer parchment, fragments of this age and style are extremely rare and almost never available for purchase today.
ITEM SPECIFICS & DETAILS:
Content: Book of Genesis - 5:31 to 10:16 - Noah (Parashah). This section covers the full story of NOAH AND THE GREAT FLOOD.
Dimensions: A large piece featuring 4 columns. Measures approx. 51 x 47 CM (19.70" x 18.50").
Material & Color: Heavy and thick WILD DEER VELLUM. This scroll is characterized by a very deep, rich red color typical of ancient Yemenite scrolls. This unique hue is a result of the original processing method, which causes the parchment to naturally darken and redden significantly over the centuries.
Script: Features unique, ancient Hebrew letters and a scribal style exclusive to Yemen over 3 centuries ago.
Rarity: Extremely rare.
CONDITION & IMPORTANT PHOTO NOTE:
The item is in overall good condition considering its vast age (300+ years), but it naturally shows signs of wear and aging. You will notice ancient text corrections, small tears, and scorch marks along the edges of the parchment. These marks reflect the passage of time and moments of hardship, adding to its rich, vibrant history.
Please Note: Please review the photos carefully to see the dark color of the item. Because the deer skin has darkened so much over the centuries, the text has become difficult to read in person. Some of the photos were taken with a flash to make the lettering more visible, but in reality, the parchment is extremely dark.
WHAT THIS SECTION COVERS: NOAH AND THE GREAT FLOOD (The Full Story)
The story of the flood occurs in chapters 6–9 of the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible. Ten generations after the creation of Adam, God saw that the earth was corrupt and filled with violence, and he decided to destroy what he had created. But God found one righteous man, Noah, and to him he confided his intention: "I am about to bring on the Flood ... to eliminate everywhere all flesh in which there is the breath of life ... ."
So God instructed him to build an ark (in Hebrew, a chest or box), and Noah entered the Ark in his six hundredth year [of life], and on the 17th day of the second month of that year "the fountains of the Great Deep burst apart and the floodgates of heaven broke open" and rain fell for forty days and forty nights until the highest mountains were covered to a depth of 15 cubits, and all life perished except Noah and those with him in the Ark.
After 150 days, "God remembered Noah ... and the waters subsided" until the Ark rested on the mountains of Ararat, and on the 27th day of the second month of Noah's six hundred and first year the earth was dry. Then Noah built an altar and made a sacrifice, and God made a covenant with Noah that man would be allowed to eat every living thing but not its blood, and that God would never again destroy all life by a flood.
