Nice Ethiopian silver cross in a circle 02.06.484

Old Coptic crosses often incorporate a circle; sometimes large, sometimes small. The circle of the Ankh originally represented the Sun god. For the Coptic Church, the circle represents the eternal and everlasting love of God, as shown through Christ's Crucifixion. It also symbolises Christ's halo and resurrection
