About this document
Ethiopian Neck Crosses: A Cultural Legacy by nesirutemam.wodajo is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Ethiopian neck crosses, adopted by King Ezana in the fourth century AD, serve as both religious symbols and indicators of wealth among Ethiopian Christians. These crosses feature diverse designs influenced by Greek, Latin, Coptic, Celtic, and European styles, with many crafted by Jewish silversmiths during the 1980s and 1990s exodus. Sally Dudmesh collects and creates necklaces with these crosses, blending cultural symbols and precious stones in her jewelry designs.
