    Description

    This is a antique Ethiopian Coptic Christian Scroll which is made of goatskin which has been worked into parchment like material called vellum. The writing is in black and red paint or ink and is written in Ethiopic Ge'ez which is the country's earliest language and which has been referred to as the 'Latin of Ethiopia' and is used today only in the liturgy of the Ethiopian Church. Very sturdy and in excellent although slight worn condition from past use by previous owners. This Scroll would be an excellent addition to any Ethiopian Christian collection.
    This amazing antique Ethiopian Scroll has two beautiful paintings of two different protection symbols. This scroll has its protecting cover which made of hard animal leather and is in well used condition and all hand stitched.
    Size is 4 ft long by 3 inches wide.
    Please pay close attention to my photos as they are a big part of my description.
    A wonderful Antique in as found condition.
