This is a fine large Ancona ketubbah — beautifully shaped and illustrated. The full description in the catalogue of the Art Gallery of Ontario (see below) contains some mistakes. Shabbetai Hayyim is Diamante's father, not a grandfather
Salomone Fiorentino is not signed as a witness (and he never lived in Ancona!). The author also neglected to see a second beautiful scene at bottom centre: an enthroned king approached by a group of a kneeling man, and a younger 10th one gesturing to the king. This is possibly the scene of Joseph and his brothers in Egypt. Although none of the parties is called by their name, the scene of Isaac at top also has no relation to the names. For the same reason, the Magen David at top seems to be space-filling and not a family device.
Total dowry and tosefet: 600 scudi.
