Antique brass Ethiopian Costic Cross

The Costic church was founded in Egypt and is one of the oldest of Christian churches. The intricate intertwined latticework represents everlasting life. This is a very old hand hewn piece that I believe to be made from brass. Such as it is so antique and with so much work that must have been put in rather than made by machine, it seems a very good protective sort of amulet to me or something unique to show off your faith. I've hung it from a handmade thick vintage 15 in chain.
