Ichthys Crown of Thorns Wall Clock, Handmade Layered Wood, English or Ancient Greek
Christmas delivery: order by December 12 to receive it by Christmas (US).
Size: 9.2 in (23.4 cm) across, about 1.3 in (3.2 cm) deep with the back enclosure.
"Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour." That is what the five Greek letters of the ancient fish, ΙΧΘΥΣ, stood for to the first Christians. This clock puts that confession at the center of your wall.
A crown of thorns wraps the face. In the center sits the Ichthys fish, with the clock movement in its body. The words JESUS CHRIST and SON OF GOD · SAVIOUR are engraved beneath it.
Two versions, your choice:
- English: Roman numerals, with the words in English.
- Ancient Greek: Greek letter numerals (Αʹ to ΙΒʹ) and the words ΙΗΣΟΥΣ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ and ΘΕΟΥ ΥΙΟΣ ΣΩΤΗΡ, just as the early church wrote them.
Hidden battery enclosure. A wooden back cover hides the movement and battery, with a keyhole to hang it flush on one screw and a press fit hatch for changing the AA battery. The back looks as clean as the front.
- Size: 9.2 in (23.4 cm) across, about 1.3 in (3.2 cm) deep
