Outstanding examples of Abyssinian craftsmanship Martin!!
Especially like the almost Picasso-esque style of the Lion of Judah!
It is curious about the character of the interlocked chain type motif noted by Gav, and wonder if we might find a descriptive term. As he notes this does appear on a good number of examples. Maybe some references on Ethiopian arts and crafts might have something?
Thank you so much for sharing these!!!
