PROCESSIONAL CROSSES, Ethiopia
Ethiopia has been a Christian nation since the 4th C. These processional
crosses have hollow round bases and were mounted on staffs and carried during
processionals or displayed on altars. They are individually cast in Ethiopia
from a silver alloy and can stand on their own without bases. The designs
on the back sides are similar to those on the front but usually with fewer
incised lines.
