An appreciation of ethnic jewellery and adornment

Silver coptic crosses

This is another set of silver coptic crosses bought in Egypt some 25 years ago. I do not think that they are much older than that. The silver brooch was also bought at that time and represents typical Nubian houses in Upper Egypt.

Well yes, Eva. That is what they told you. I agree with you though that they strongly remind me of Ethiopian ones ....

I agree with Toya, beautiful crosses, you say they are general coptic crosses? I did not know, I thought they were particularly Ethiopian. But nice to know.  I like them all, and also especially the little Nubian house brooch!

Thanks a lot, Toya.

Wonderful collection, arrangement, and photograph. I particularly like the Nubian house brooch.
