This splendid Ethiopian Orthodox Christian Cross Pendant, made in the 1930s, is a true testament to the beauty of handmade craftsmanship. In Ethiopia, particularly among devout Orthodox Church followers, wearing such a cross symbolizes divine protection and serves as a visible sign of their unwavering devotion to Christianity. These neck or pictorial crosses are lovingly secured around the wearer's neck using a delicate piece of blue thread or cord, often received during the sacred sacrament of baptism.
