Large Aksum cross - Old Coptic procession cross - Legering af sølv, kobber og nikkel - Etiopien
This Cross belongs to the group of processional crosses which accompanies each procession of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. It has a hollow shaft for mounting on a wooden handle, so that it can be carried above the heads of people in processions and religious ceremonies. The two lower arms are made for the hanging of the cloth which accompanies the Cross when it is carried by the deacons. The cloth reminds on Christ's dresses. The Cross is handcrafted by the lost-wax method, so that it is unique.
Material: an alloy of silver, copper and nickel. The cross stands a bit unstable on it`s own. This can easily solved with a coin or piece of card board.
Provenance: former private collection from Belgium. Collected in the period 1953 - 1959 (More details provided to buyer).
Sold with a certificate of authenticity.
