Megillah decorated with copper engraving. The Megillah designed to be used in the synagogue reading is made of parchment and handwritten by the Torah scribe, the so-called Sofer. Its decoration can be anything: on this 18th century Megillah the copper engraving that frame the text was printed on the parchment, but the text itself was written by hand, in the traditional manner. We can see on the edges traces of mice chew, which belongs to the history of the fate of this object.
