This is a Papercut of The Doctor Prayer, attributed to Maimonides - a preeminent medieval Jewish philosopher and one of the greatest Torah scholars of the Middle Ages.
The Papercut is decorated with Pomegranates and Gold with Biblical Letters.
Paper cutting has been a common Jewish art form since the Middle Ages. In 1345, Rabbi Shem-Tov ben Yitzhak ben Ardutiel, finding that his ink had frozen, continued to write the manuscript by cutting the letters into the paper.
7 years ago, Michel Partouche has realized that his dream was to make papercuts. Ever since his family has been creating papercuts for customers all over the world, through a long and loving process. Michel gives an idea for a design and makes the drawing. The hand drawn idea is translated to the computer and then cut by laser. His wife Dina - the Art Director takes the initial idea for a papercut, puts together the many different elements and creates the final sketch for the artwork, then their daughter Shira Hand paints most of the papercuts once they are cut. Michel then frames the art work using unique ideas.
