Round and granulated

Ingrid's recent posts have inspired me to show a few Ethiopian crosses of my very humble collection. This is a small and round one with granules and engravings. The size is little more than an inch in diameter (without the bail).

Betty, this is the top part of a hinged cross. Gr. Ingrid.

I think you are right :) Ingrid. Thank you! It's quite large for a top, but at the bottom one can still guess that once upon a time there was a hinge... Wish i could have seen the complete piece.
