Description

Algiers style pewter labyrinth, 3 inches square, depicting the first known Christian labyrinth, dating back to 324 AD, found in the Basilica of St. Reparatus in North Africa.  Includes wooden stylus, story card and velvet pouch. 

Special Instructions

This is a beautiful piece for your collection and to show how long labyrinths have been associated with Christianity.  I find that in this individual design rendition the paths are a bit too narrow even for the stylus to be used smoothly. Works nicely as a visual and educational piece.
