Coptic Cross
Processional cross that is attached to a long staff used in Ethiopian Orthodox churches in Lalibela, Ethiopia. Early Coptic Crosses were prominently featured during services and processions that honored holy days, and they favored abstract openwork patterns, and images of the Virgin and Child. Later Coptic Crosses equalized the length of the arms and filled in the gaps between them, almost dissolving the cross form into a diamond shape that was punctuated with interlacing patterns. The Coptic Crosses also provide a place to affix colored cloths that trail from them.
