Content Description
SummaryA Great Tree of the KPZWy type. This ilan was created in Eastern Europe in the late 18th century. The ilan was executed with stylistic precision and features a variety of scripts and decorative elements recalling the ilan of the Chabad Library (Megillah 4902ื). Unlike the latter, however, it includes the components K and Wy.
