Ethiopia. It looks like one of the regional crosses. I'll bet Eva will know!

there are two Ethiopian crosses of that style, one is a Lalibela version, and one from Jimma. I tend to the Lalibela version. see encl. pics

It is definitely an Ethiopian cross. Here is the legend for the pic I enclosed in my previous comment. There are more than one type called Lalibela, normally the one with the four doves at the sides, but some areas have 2 or 3 varieties.

Hi Eva, wow thanks a lot this is indeed very helpful! Yes I agree on the Lalibela version. Many thanks!
