Hi Gavin,
Yes, interlocking chains were relatively frequent motif. Unfortunately, I do not know if it has any name. I think it was made of stamped plates and despite of its typicalness for Abyssinian mountings, I am of the opinion it is not characteristic for Abyssinian silver(brass)smithts. So maybe the stamped plates were imported. Typical Abassinian work is fligree ...
