Two antique Ethiopian coptic crosses of the Axum design. One is hinged. These all three have been made via the lost wax system. All three of good silver. When having these crosses in the hand they have a lovely softened feel to it.
All very beautiful and worn. How many crosses are in your collection Ingrid?
Many Lynn, All collected during the 1965-85. In all sizes and shapes and carefully chosen.
I like the Axum design!
Thank you Eva, People like them because they see them as artistic designs and not as a religieus object.
