VINTAGE ETHIOPIAN SILVER COPTIC CROSS

Description

VINTAGE,  SMALL SIZE, ETHIOPIAN CROSS- AUTHENTIC AND NOT A REPRODUCTION.
THE  REALLY OLD CROSSES LIKE THIS ARE HARD TO FIND NOW  DUE TO THE REPRODUCTION PIECES THAT ARE ABOUT.
THIS LOVELY SPECIMEN IS IN GOOD SHAPE- CONSISTING OF
MOSTLY SILVER BUT  PROBABLY MIXED WITH OTHER ALLOYS, AS
WAS THE CUSTOM.
THE  METAL SMOOTHNESS IS AN INDICATOR OF AGE FROM HANDLING OVER THE YEARS.
