Authentic Ethiopian Coptic priest's hand cross, hand-forged from brass and richly openworked with traditional geometric and cross patterns. This size (41 cm) is typical for liturgical use by a priest during blessings and processions within the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.
The natural patina and signs of wear are appropriate for ritual use and underscore its authenticity. Not a decorative reproduction, but an original religious object with cultural and spiritual significance.
A special piece for collectors of religious heritage, ethnographic objects, or as a powerful, understated statement in an interior.
