COPTIC SILVER CROSS, ETHIOPIA, 19TH CENTURY

B5062

Regular price $90.00 Sale

Large example, just over 1 1/4” height of native base silver with characteristic quaint charm. Highly stylized with a basket weave cross with “crutches” to the terminals descended from the Crusades and making it five crosses in one, the Jerusalem Cross. Christianity in Ethiopia is traceable to the first century, the time of Christ, and the persecution of Christians. The New Testament (Acts8:26-36) records Philip the Evangelist’s conversion of an Ethiopian court official in the first century. Wonderful genuine age character, suspended from an 18” modern sterling silver mounted polished leather neck cord. Jewelry gift boxed with a certificate of authenticity.
