ETHIOPIAN HAND CROSS 109, 10.25", $80, Ethiopia

Ethiopia has been a Christian nation since the 4th century. These medium-size crosses with no bases were hand carried during services. The designs on the back sides are similar to those on the front but usually with fewer incised lines. Made of a silver alloy, they are individually cast in Ethiopia.
