Sick and Co. and Moses Lewin Levin played significant roles as bead brokers\/importers. The beads gained renewed popularity in the late 1960s when exported from Africa to the U.S. and Europe. The term \"Trade Beads\" became widely used, and they were also known as \"Love Beads\" during the Hippie era. As demand grew, specific names like \"Russian Blues\" and \"Dutch Donuts\" emerged, contributing to the beads' collectability.

Crosses like this one are evidence of the long history of Christianity in Ethiopia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese individual Coptic crosses are cast and made in various styles, designs, and sizes. They can be hand-cut from various metals--silver, iron, gold, and brass--and cast using the lost wax method. Some Ethiopian crosses are made out of wood. This one is made of silver alloy. Designs are as varied as the regions they come from, and crosses are generally named after the towns or provinces where they are made.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe use of these crosses is essentially religious.
