A striking antique devotional oil painting in the Spanish Colonial (New Spain) tradition, depicting a crowned young virgin martyr. The piece is unrestored and offered exactly as acquired – a rare opportunity for a collector or gallery to conserve and preserve an authentic period devotional canvas. The canvas is inscribed across the upper field, flanking the figure’s head, in the traditional colonial manner. The lettering appears to read: Sta. The Saint & Its Significance. Santa Susana (Saint Susanna) is venerated as an early virgin martyr of the Church. In Spanish Colonial devotional painting she is shown, as here, crowned and accompanied by the martyr’s palm – the crown and palm together being the traditional emblems of a martyr’s victory of faith. The figure’s upward gaze and raised hand express devotion and supplication. Single-figure saint portraits of this kind were made throughout New Spain for private chapels, convents, and household altars. Oil on hand-loomed linen. Half-length depiction of the saint in three-quarter view, wearing a pearl diadem with a central floral medallion, gold-trimmed mantle, and a drop earring, set against a dark atmospheric ground with a martyr’s palm behind the head. Warm earth-toned palette with gilded highlights. The hand-woven canvas, deep age craquelure, and inscription convention are all consistent with the Spanish Colonial provincial tradition. Antique and completely unrestored. The painting shows craquelure throughout, areas of paint loss and lifting (notably upper corners), darkening and surface grime in the lower register, and general wear consistent with considerable age. It has not been cleaned, lined, or overpainted by me – it is offered in its honest, untouched state and is an excellent candidate for professional conservation. Please review all photos closely; they form part of the condition description. Acquired directly by me from Galería Trocadero on Avenida México in Guadalajara, Jalisco – a multigenerational family gallery that has been curating fine art and antiques at the same location for over a century. A Note on the Photos. I photograph each piece against several different backgrounds, and sometimes shown with a frame, to help you visualize it in a real room or setting. The backgrounds and any frame shown are for visualization only and are not included – you will receive the unframed canvas as described. Collector & Gallery Value. Pieces from my collection are sometimes acquired by private collectors and galleries. Each piece is professionally packaged by Diseños de Cartón on Avenida México in Colonia Americana, and I personally hand-deliver every package to my local DHL office. Any questions, please reach out to me directly – no AI here, all human service.

Rare 15th Century Spanish Torah Scroll Fragment – Pre-Expulsion – Deer Parchment. Material: Rare Deer Parchment (Klaf Tzvi). Type: Torah Scroll Fragment / Manuscript. Date: Circa 15th Century (Pre-Expulsion Spain). Script: Sephardic (Spanish) Scribal Tradition. ### Overview: An Extraordinary Piece of History. This manuscript dates back to 15th-century Spain, making it one of the few surviving examples of Jewish scribal tradition from the Golden Age of Spain, just before the Expulsion of 1492. Following the Spanish Expulsion, such scrolls traveled with the exiles to the Ottoman Empire and eventually reached Eretz Israel. This tradition deeply influenced the holy city of Safed, the 16th-century world center of Kabbalah. This fragment is a living witness to that monumental journey. ### Content: The Mystery of the Inverted’? “Nun”. This specific fragment contains one of the most unique and mysterious sections in the entire Torah: Numbers 10:10 – 11:5. “Vayehi Binsoa HaAron” (Numbers 10:35-36): These two iconic verses describe the movement and resting of the Holy Ark. Recited globally in synagogues today, they represent Divine guidance and protection. The Inverted “Nun” (?) : This fragment features the rare and ancient scribal anomaly of the Inverted Nunim. In the Sephardic tradition, these letters bracket the verses of the Ark’s journey. According to the Talmud, they signify that these two verses constitute a “separate book” of the Torah, turning the 5 Books of Moses into 7. The “Mit’onanim” (The Complainers): The text continues into the beginning of Chapter 11, documenting the Israelites’ longing for the foods of Egypt (fish, cucumbers, and onions) and the shift from spiritual heights to human frailty. ### Unique Scribal Art & Kabbalistic Secrets. Paleographic Identification: A metric analysis shows a character height of 4 nib-widths (quills). This precise ratio is a definitive diagnostic tool used by experts to confirm 15th-century Spanish (Sephardic) origins. Material & Appearance: Written on Rare Deer Parchment (Klaf Tzvi), the fragment possesses a beautiful, warm, deep brown hue. This rich color is the result of the ancient organic tanning process, which has aged gracefully over 500 years. This fragment has been examined by renowned Judaica experts. Yechiel Zeitlin: Expert in ancient Hebrew scripts and the history of STAM. Rabbi Yehoshua Yankelovitch: A leading authority on ancient manuscripts and parchment identification. Considering its age of over 500 years, the fragment shows signs of its long history. It is a partial text fragment showing significant signs of age, including natural oxidation, moisture stains, and “burnt” or naturally worn edges. These imperfections are not considered defects, but rather a layer of authenticity and “soul” that collectors of ancient Judaica greatly value. Display Potential: This is an ideal candidate for professional framing. Once displayed under glass, it serves as a breathtaking centerpiece and a sacred family heirloom that will be preserved for generations. 20 cm (8 inches). Width (at widest point): Approx. 26 cm (10 inches). ### A Rare Opportunity. Owning a pre-expulsion Spanish Torah fragment is more than mere collecting; it is holding a tangible piece of the Jewish soul. It is a museum-quality artifact and a sacred family heirloom. Secured, professional packaging to ensure this delicate manuscript reaches you in safety.
