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.
