À propos de ce livre

When visiting Ethiopia, one quickly becomes aware of the profound influence of the Coptic Christian religion throughout the highlands. Evidence of this ancient faith is ubiquitous, from the numerous churches and festivals to the omnipresent crosses and cross imagery in various forms. Crosses are tattooed on skin, embroidered on garments, carried by priests, and paraded in elaborate processional displays during Coptic religious festivals. However, the most prevalent are the small silver neck crosses worn by countless Ethiopians. The Coptic religion in Ethiopia and the tradition of displaying and wearing crosses span centuries, with the variety and intricacy of cross designs surpassing those found in any other country. The exceptional skill and intricate craftsmanship of Ethiopian silversmiths in handcrafting these silver neck crosses deserve recognition and wider appreciation. This book explores the origins of silver neck crosses, their diverse forms, and the techniques used in their creation. It showcases over sixty exquisite examples of these captivating artifacts, allowing readers to fully appreciate the artistry and beauty of Ethiopian silversmithing.
