content: A document made to honor participants in the celebration of Simhat Torah.  The document is an etching printed on paper in black ink. It contains decorative motifs and symbols. The names of the honorees are inscribed in black ink.  In the upper section, a motif of the decalogue tablets floating in a cluster of clouds. Below this motif is a ribbon with fringes (a prayer shawl?) inscribed with the hame of the Hatan Torah: "Shalom ibn...Mordecai Hayyim Castello." In the center of the document is a wreath enclosing the words: "Bridegroom of the Torah." To the right of the wreath is a four pointed knot and to the left, a star of David.  Below the wreath is an oval cartouche with the inscription: "The first encirclement from the reader's desk to the ark, the carrying of the sixth scroll (on) Simhat Torah...Akiba Da Padova." In the lower portion, a chronogram for the year 1868.
