A Ethiopian ‘marriage’ ‘silver’ pendant
(In the Ethiopian Orthodox (Tewahedo) Church, when a couple become engaged it is customary for the groom to present a necklace and a pair of earrings as a gift to his bride. Engagement necklaces often feature a rectangular pendant representing the Bible, decorated with a cross and a series of tapering conical attachments representing the Apostles.)
