Silver Coptic Cross Neck Piece  

Silver Cross Necklace

Ethiopia

Silver, glass beads

A traditional silver cross medallion on a string of silver spacers and glass beads.

The origin of this cross dates back to the first Century AD when St Mark, who was born in North Africa returned to convert the people to Christianity. The Coptic Church is considered to be the mother Church in Africa.

 Medallions like this are worn as a symbol of none’s Christian faith. It is widely used in Ethiopian, Eritrian and Coptic Churches.

In excellent order.
