Vintage Bronze Simple Coptic Cross
Product Details
The Vintage Bronze Simple Coptic Cross is reduced to its bare form: four arms that narrow at the center and swell into soft rounded ends, with a longer upper arm shaped into a flat tapering head. There is no ornament at all, only the slight unevenness carried over from the antique original, which gives the metal the look of something long carried.
Crosses of this shape have been worn in the Coptic and Ethiopian churches for many centuries, often as the one piece of metal a person owned and never took off. Their strength lies in how little they ask: no corpus, no lettering, no argument, only the shape itself worn against the skin as a lifelong confession of faith. At two inches it has real presence while staying comfortable enough to wear every day without thinking about it.
The Coptic cross was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its vintage character.
- Made in the USA
- Artisan-cast from an antique original
- Finished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.
- Buy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace
- Add a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear
- Arrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box
