1 1/4" Coptic Cross Antique Vintage Model CR768

1 1/4" Cross, Small Coptic, 5 Wounds (32mm)

This Cross, Small Coptic, 5 Wounds measures 1 1/4 inches (approximately 32mm) in height and is an exact replica of an antique or vintage piece, available in sterling silver and gold bronze.

The cross is compact and delicately proportioned, featuring short, slightly flared arms that terminate in rounded points. Each terminal is adorned with a deeply incised circular depression, creating a symbolic five-point arrangement that represents the Five Holy Wounds of Christ — the hands, feet, and side. A central boss marks the intersection of the arms, drawing attention to the heart of the design.

The lines of the Small Coptic Cross are bold yet organically irregular, preserving the hand-crafted aesthetic characteristic of early Christian devotion. The tips of the arms curve outward subtly, giving the piece a dynamic, radiant feeling while maintaining structural simplicity and symbolic gravity.

The surface of the cross pendant shows a lightly weathered texture, intentionally preserving the appearance of ancient Coptic sacred art. Its form and engraving style emphasize symbolic clarity and spiritual meaning rather than elaborate detail.

The style of this antique cross reflects primitive Coptic devotional art, a tradition rooted in early Christian Egypt, where crosses were created not only as personal symbols of faith but also as talismans of divine protection and spiritual endurance.

The Cross, Small Coptic, 5 Wounds includes a strong integrated bail at the top, allowing it to be worn as a pendant, attached to a rosary, or incorporated into devotional or artisan jewelry designs.

This cross charm stands as a profound emblem of sacrifice, faith, and sacred protection. Choose sterling silver for a luminous, classical look, or gold bronze for a warm, antique patina that accentuates the enduring spiritual heritage of this timeless design.
