Antique Ethiopian Coptic Christian Ge'ez Vellum Healing Scroll, Ethiopia, Africa

Description

This is an 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. Please see 'Ethiopian Magic Scrolls' by Jacques Mercier and 'The coinage of Ethiopia, Eritrea and Italian Somalia' by Dennis Gill for more information. Great condition with slight wear. This Scroll would be an excellent addition to any Ethiopian Christian collection.
This amazing antique Ethiopian Scroll has one beautiful painting of a guardian angel with a drawn sword.
