1 5/8" Coptic Old Cross Antique Vintage Model CR742

1 5/8" Coptic Old Cross (41mm)

This Coptic Old Cross measures 1 5/8 inches (approximately 41mm) in height and is an exact replica of an antique or vintage piece, available in sterling silver and gold bronze.

The cross has a broad, symmetrical form with flaring arms that widen outward and end in rounded, petal-like shapes. The arms of the Coptic Old Cross are thick and solid, creating a strong, substantial silhouette that reflects stability and spiritual endurance. The slightly convex surfaces and soft edges give the piece a smooth, almost sculptural appearance.

At the base of the vertical arm, a small rounded protrusion adds a finishing detail, subtly emphasizing the downward grounding of the cross. The overall proportions are balanced and harmonious, with gentle curves blending into a cohesive, organic form.

The surface of the cross pendant is finely textured and slightly irregular, preserving the handmade character associated with ancient devotional objects. The simple, bold form focuses on symbolic strength rather than ornate decoration.

The style of this antique cross reflects primitive early Christian art, particularly the tradition of Coptic devotional design, characterized by bold shapes, flowing lines, and a deep sense of sacred presence. Such crosses were often used by early Christian communities in Egypt and Ethiopia as symbols of faith, protection, and divine connection.

The Coptic Old Cross includes a strong, integrated bail at the top for wearing as a pendant, adding to a prayer necklace, or incorporating into artisan devotional jewelry.

This cross charm stands as a timeless symbol of faith, protection, and the enduring power of the early Christian spirit. Choose sterling silver for a luminous, traditional finish, or gold bronze for a rich, ancient patina that brings out the depth and beauty of its sacred design.
