Ketubot, both in the past and today, are indeed works of scribal
genius. Devora and I have placed ours in our living room just as
we would with any other treasured work of art.

However, a ketuba's intent is very different from an award. I
would feel very uncomfortable about someone using the ketuba
format for an SCA award when other documents exist.
