Product code: Antique Ethiopian Coptic buy Cross

Christian Ethiopians have worn crosses made from coin silver for over 1600 years. They are made by using the lost wax casting process or cut directly from a Maria Teresa thaler. Material for Coptic crosses varies from coin silver (about 80%) to a variety of mixed metals. During the buy 19th century the supply of silver became more readily available and designs more elaborate with symbols and patterns influenced by other religious groups. However, because these were made over such a long period of time, it is hard to verify how much silver each cross contains.

This cross measures approx 2.25 inches tall, 1.6 inches wide (57mm x 40mm).

You will receive the exact cross you see pictured here. The cross is strung on strong, black woven cotton finished off with an adjustable knot for instant adornment.

This cross is indeed an antique piece and its condition reflects that. Worn edges and weathering are a product of time and use...not defects.
