Hand-Carved Ethiopian Cross

About
A vintage Ethiopian cross, hand carved in silver-plated copper, circa 1940.
These silver or brass crosses are symbols of Coptic / Orthodox Christianity in Ethiopia and Eritrea. Their elaborate design distinguishes them from similar European crosses. Ethiopian crosses are almost always hand-made from silver-plated copper, with an intricate latticework which symbolizes eternal life. No two crosses are exactly alike in style.
Measures: 25" high x 11" wide, mounted on a 4" x 4" black metal stand.
