Tribal Cross Keepsake Box

The cross has been used by many religions but most noticably, Christians. It is an ancient symbol that has been dated as far back as the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic in European cult caves. Due to the simplicity of the design, cross-shaped cuts have been found in deep prehistory as petroglyphs. Prior to 2000 B.C. the cross was already used in ancient alphabets as the letter 'Tau' which corresponds to the modern letter 'T' and meant 'Mark' Some feel it is seen as a division of the world into four elements, cardinal points, or as the union of the concepts of divinity and the world. Divinity symbolized as the vertical line and the horizontal line representing the world. This box with it's stylized, yet bold design would make a great gift for anyone of the Christian faith or just a lover of crosses. This hand-burned box measures 8" x 8.24" x 1.75".
