Antique primitive hand-carved stone religious relic in the form similar to a "hand altar."  Date unknown but in the Ethiopian Coptic style which is said to have influenced similar Celtic designs. Two doors on each side, and each door is carved on both sides. Doors hinge open via attached twine to reveal further Christian iconography within, including a crucifixion scene with Jesus flanked by what appears to be grieving Mary and Joseph.

The dimensions are 6 in x 3.5 in x 0.5 in. Condition is  fair, with minor surface wear and one door that needs to be reattached. One extra door is included. Please call or email for a detailed condition report.
