The scroll has a distinctive Golden Brown color like many of the scrolls that come from Morocco and these are very rare as well, (see photos below). Torah Fragments like these are seldom seen or available due to their age. Scrolls from Morocco, are highly prized for the beauty of its soft colored parchment and their beautiful calligraphy. These parchments are so prized because they hold their ink well and the letters remain black and easy to read over centuries of use.
