Arms terminate in rounded, pillow-like edges. Surface carries a matte, bone-white patina consistent with age and handling. Fine surface scratching distributed across all four arms. The reverse face bears incised decoration at the intersection: an X-form cross scored within a square, flanked by single vertical cuts on the upper and lower arms. This shallow engraving reads as a secondary cross, a compositional device common in Ethiopian Coptic devotional metalwork, where layered cross forms carry liturgical weight. The bale is a smooth, domed loop soldered at the crown. Oxidation collects in recessed areas. The cord is a tightly braided dark brown leather or waxed fibre, terminating at both ends in cylindrical silver crimp caps. Closure is a lobster claw clasp with visible surface texture and age patina. An oval stamped tag reads AUSTRALIA, suggesting provenance or a point of retail acquisition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCONSTRUCTION DETAILS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Solid silver pendant, oxidised finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCord: Dark braided leather or waxed cord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosure: Lobster claw clasp, silver-toned, aged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 40cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear engraving: Incised X-cross at intersection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin context: Ethiopian Coptic devotional tradition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54001621074233,"sku":"NECK98","price":680.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0982\/0160\/0313\/files\/NECK98EDIT_3.png?v=1784105101","url":"https:\/\/frakture.shop\/products\/antique-ethiopian-coptic-cross-silver-pendant","provider":"FRAK \/ TURE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
