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.
