Old sterling silver Ethiopian Coptic Christian Cross with an inscription in amharic, the written language of the central highlands in Ethiopia. The cross has some wear on the bail typically seen of genuine crosses from the 1800`s. Do not confuse with contemporary reproductions cast in tin or nickel. This cross was from Mek'ele, one of Ethiopia's primary educational centers.
This cross comes complete with certificate of authenticity and descriptive brochure and a 20" sterling silver necklace.
