Six framed Ethiopian blessing crosses made of mixed metal (silver / nickel alloy) which and framed individually for a high quality and visually interesting grouping. Each cross is handmade and completely unique. Priests in Ethiopia carry these types of crosses wherever they go and use them to 'bless' people. The earliest specimens likely date to the 12th century CE. and the latticework design is symbolic of everlasting life.
Beautifully detailed and visually interesting. These crosses are handmade, and so some slight variances are to be expected.
