Felt-tip pens and gouache on cotton fabrics.
Seventeen wimples, some are folk-art, home-made, while others were created by craftsmen. The quality of the coloring and of the letters varies. Drawings of animals were added to some as well as visual depictions of the Torah, chuppah, bride and groom; on some Wimpels the name of the newborn appears also in Latin characters.
According to the surnames appearing on the Wimpels and considering the repeated use of blue-white-red colors, it seems that most of the Wimpels (if not all of them) are from the region of Alsace-Lorraine. Among the names mentioned: Braunschweig, Blum, Lewaillant, Dreyfus, Bloch, Schmoll, Goetchel, Grelinger, Meyer, Levy and more.
Average width: approximately three meters. Condition varies, some are stained, worn or unraveled.
