{"product_id":"coptic-tau-cross-pendant-b921591-om","title":"Coptic Tau Cross Pendant","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Coptic Tau Cross Pendant is a coptic tau cross pendant in 925 sterling silver using the T-form the Egyptian church kept when the rest of Christendom lengthened it: a 30 mm tau with a heavy crossbar, a loop above where the upper arm would be, and pierced fields around the crossing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe four fields around the crossing are pierced clean through and each arm end is squared and slightly flared, with a small step cast at the foot. The deepest oxidation blackens the pierced edges and the recessed centre band so the openings read as part of the design rather than as absences. The loop doubles as the bail, so the cross hangs from the form itself with no added fitting. Polished, it reads as a graphic outline; gold vermeil pushes it toward the ankh it came from.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 925 sterling
