ETHIOPIAN

$2000

*Ethiopian Scroll 5 was selected by the Fitchburg Museum and
was donated to their permanent collection.
The scroll consists of three panels laced together with three pictures in color.
Ethiopia has been a Christian nation since the 4th century. These Coptic gospel texts are handwritten and illustrated on vellum, a fine parchment made from calfskin, lambskin, or kidskin.
Although age is impossible to establish definitively, we believe this scroll dates from the 19th or early 20th century.
