Ethiopian cross

Their elaborate, stylized design is markedly distinct from other Christian cross variants.

[1][2] Ethiopian crosses are almost always made from elaborate latticework, the intertwined lattice represents everlasting life.

[3] No two crosses are exactly identical in style, the artisans who make them being allowed the freedom to exercise a measure of individual taste and creativity in their choice of shape and pattern.

Crosses may be of the processional type with a socket at the base so they may be mounted on a staff and carried in church ceremonies or hand-held blessing crosses used by priests in benedictions.
