Ethiopian Cross - ML01 News made by the Edo peopleThis Ethiopian processional cross is hand cast in silver alloy using the lost wax method, a craft rooted in one of the world's oldest continuous Christian traditions. Designs vary by region crosses are traditionally named after the town or province where they're made. Woven into the pattern are Star of David motifs, echoing Ethiopia's link to King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Individually cast, so no two are alike. Size: 34 17 10cm (H W L)
