content: A Hebrew document, containing a wedding riddle. The document is sest on a wooden backing and placed in a wooden frame with gold leaf molding. The frame is carved to resemble leafy branches of a tree. Each of the four corners has a carved decoration of leaf clusters.  The wedding riddle is dedicated to "Isaac, son of Raphael Luzzato," on the occasion of his marriage to "Rebecca" (family name not indicated). At the top, the riddle begins with the phrase: "Two men passing are arguing." Below is a wood cut print of two men arguing. To the sides of the print: "He is one, and there is no other." And below: "The first come, first served." The riddle has eight four-line stanzas.
