The front side. The stone has a ruby color but do not know if it is the real thing or paste.The photo does not give its stunning quality. Imagine all these details on such a small area. It is a cross from about 1920.

    Front view of the rare  antique silver guilded Ethiopian coptic cross.  Not many with stones, quite rare.

    very nice, I have never seen an Ethiopian cross with a Stone before. Also the fact that it has been guilded, is very rare, and speaks for a Special, sophisticated type of cross. I can imagine that the photo does not fully reveal it s Beauty. This happens often with certain jewels, one of the best examples I know are emeralds, which come out badly on photos in 90% of cases (do not Show the real colour).quite a pity

    Thank you Eva, I wish you could see it in reality.  A real stunner, all of them  in the last posted collection.  Back and front equally beautifully decorated.
