Ethiopian Coptic Cross Necklace - from Gondar region

Ethiopian Coptic Cross Necklace
This heavy silver cross measures 50mm x 35mm and is from the Gondar region. The cross is hanging on a 16 inch Black Greek Leather Cord finished with a .925 sterling silver clasp. If you need the necklace to be longer you can purchase a 2 inch sterling silver extender.

For over 1600 years Christian Ethiopians have worn neck crosses as a proud confession of their faith. Ethiopian crosses are either cast by the lost wax method or cut from Maria Theresa dollars.
(The crosses are usually named after the towns or provinces of the highlands of Ethiopia - and each has their own design.)
