A stunning item such as this will instantly draw your attention. On first look you will notice the stylized Ethiopian Coptic cross, distinct from similar European crosses, due to its ornate nature. Instantly recognisable, the Coptic cross is widely used in Ethiopian churches & is a familiar sight in many north African states. Its style is influenced by the “ Ankh”, a pagan symbol representing eternal life.
As you look closer you will notice that the organic shape you are looking at is formed not by a designer’s deft hand but by nature itself as it is a real ostrich egg! The ostrich egg is remarkable as it is the largest egg, from the largest living bird, yet the smallest egg in relation to its mother. This intriguing object is constructed half by nature & half by craftsman, but as with all items in the Designer’s Atelier Collection of International Treasures you will want to inspect its glory from near & afar.
