Very interesting, looks like a cross between a Moroccan and Ethiopian cross. The raised box and the granulated points look Moroccan. The hinge and the overall shape look Ethiopian. It is attractive!
I do the same thing, buy out of curiosity.
Amongst the antique coptic crosses of Ethiopia there are raised crosses. I cannot show you right now but will do so shortly. This one however I do recognize as started production in about 2007 about as I than was shown a bag full of them in superior work but unfortunately not in silver for the tourist market. The Ethiopian Dealer had come to Europe with them on order of a French dealer.
Did you test this one Betty?
Hi Ingrid - I somehow must have missed your very helpful comment.
I suspected this is a rather new piece. Will test it and let you know whether or not it is silver.
Do you happen to own an antique raised cross - I don't think I have ever seen one.
Bety, I do have them , will make a photo to morrow, and display it on the site.
Gr. Ingrid.
How interesting. It is great that you are keeping abreast of new developments Ingrid!
