Description: Fig Tree
Media: Gouache (opauqe watercolor) and Ink

This ketuba was created for a couple whose careers involved ecologically safe organic agriculture. They grew fig trees in their California backyard. The first fruit mentioned in the bible, the fig is a symbol of blessing, peace, and prosperity.

The tiny detail elements include birds, ladybugs, and earthworms. In the upper corners are a variety of fruits, including apples (symbolic of beauty and hope), grapes (symbolic of celebration and marriage), and pomegranates (symbolic of fertility and love).
