A unique item from the Israel Museum’s Egyptian Collection, this fascinating sterling silver clip-on charm is a remarkable trinket inspired by history! Introduced into Egypt thousands of years ago by some of the earliest Christian missionaries, as a result of this influence of Christian theology, much of Egyptian art of that period became sprinkled with Christian symbols, with the Cross becoming one of the most popular icons brought into Egypt. Modeled after Crosses excavated from this period, this spectacular Cross charm features splayed arms scored with small etched grooves that give it a historic and interesting finish, similar to the simple embellishments used to decorate everyday objects before more modern techniques were developed. Incredibly amazing, this wonderful Cross charm from the Holy Land will make a captivating gift for anyone looking to wear something with meaning, and is sure to be the perfect keepsake to give to someone on a special occasion!
This delicate charm is extremely versatile and can be clipped onto a huge variety of different bracelet chains.
