Ethiopia is one of the oldest centers of human existence and the oldest independent nation in Africa. Landlocked between Kenya, Eritrea, Somalia, Sudan and Djibouti it covers an area twice the size of France. This country is home to a myriad of peoples with over 80 different spoken languages. Ethiopia’s tremendous role in the origin of humankind and its important place in religious history often overshadow other aspects of the country’s’ identity. Already known for artifacts appreciated for religious connotations and timelines the citizen artisans of Ethiopia are creators, at present, of beautiful, hand crafted items that are personally important to tribal groups and individuals. These items are never produced en masse each with unique designs. and are exceedingly hard to acquire.
