230339 - Antique 19th cent Ethiopian coptic Manuscript - Ethiopia.

Old Ethiopian manuscript with 7 handpainted icons.

Size of this manuscript are when closed; 8 cm x 7 cm. This manuscript has 56 pages.

THIS COPTIC BIBLE HAS TWO COVERS PROBABLY MADE OF WOOD COVERED IN COW LEATHER WITH ENGRAVED CROSS DESIGNS. THE PAGES ARE MADE OF GOAT SKIN  AND THE RED AND BLACK LETTERS ARE HANDMADE WITH INKS DERIVED FROM PLANTS. THE CONDITION IS VISIBLE, IT HAS SOME REBINDING DETAILS AND THE LEATHER ON THE COVERS IS SOMEWHAT DRY AND LOSES MINIMAL PARTS WHEN HANDLED TOO MUCH. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE MISSING ANY PAGE AND I THINK THAT IN GENERAL LINES AND TAKING INTO ACCOUNT IT IS IN GOOD CONDITION.
