    I have the same one around someplace, complete with original chain. It's not the same one as on yours. The design looks Ethiopian.

    It is an Ethiopian Coptic cross.
    The main Ethiopian Christian denomination is called Tewahedo. It used to resort under the Egyptian Coptic church, but is now independent.
