Kruis (2) - Alloy of silver, copper and nickel - 1950-1960
Set of 2 unique, fine Coptic processional cross from Ethiopia, silverplated.
These rare crosses belong to the group of processional crosses which accompanies each procession of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. They have a hollow shaft for mounting on a wooden handle, so that they can be carried above the heads of people in processions and religous ceremonies. The Crosses are handcraftet by the lost-wax method, so that they are unique.
Some crosses can be traced back to specific churches due to their shape and design. Provenance leads to a local tradesman in Ethiopia.
Measurements: 20,3 x 9 x 2,7 cm. and 18 x 9 x 3 cm
Material alloy of silver and nickel. Silverplated.
These crosses have a steady construction. The bottom is not entirely flat so they are a little bit wobbly, but stand on their own.
Will be send with tracking code.
