Description from the seller
Set of three old (circa 1950) Coptic cross pendants from Ethiopia (Amhara region). Crosses have been worn within Coptic communities for as long as anyone can remember as necklaces, mainly by women. The pendants are handmade and intricately worked.
These pendants were acquired from a collection assembled in the 1970s. The pendants are presumably from before 1950.
Dimensions:
12.5 x 9.25 x 0.45 cm
11.25 x 8 x 0.3 cm
8 x 4.5 x 0.7 cm
The items are carefully packaged and shipped with tracking.
Seller's Story
Rootz Gallery has an extensive collection of remarkable art objects from the non-Western world and a collection of modern and contemporary art. The art collection originally started with the gathering of modern and contemporary art. Due to a long-standing fascination with other cultures, it was quickly expanded to include non-Western art objects. The gallery has primarily focused on non-Western art for a long time, but has recently also refocused on modern and contemporary art.
Many pieces originate from ritual contexts and have been carefully collected over a period of 40 years. The items, often acquired during travels and coming from old collections, offer a unique insight into authentic cultures and traditions.
