Cross pendant, silver plated, decorated with coiled metal and small raised spheres and strung on a chain with alternating plain and coiled links. Part a is the bottom portion of the cross pendant and part b is the top portion.
The Amhara Christians of the highlands wore crosses as a religious symbol. The three kinds of crosses found in Ethiopia are staff-mounted crosses, hand crosses and cross pendants. This is a cross pendant. While staff-mounted crosses and hand crosses are used by male priests or monks in religious processions, ceremonies and other ecclesiastical uses, pendants are commonly used by lay people. They can be worn by any Christian individual regardless of age or sex. These pendants are usually made of metal, wood or leather and are often given to individuals at their baptism, to be worn on necklaces close to the chest or neck.
