Ethiopia has been a Christian nation since the 4th century. These wooden icons are hand-carved and hand-painted with scenes from the gospels. This icon has paintings on the front and the back side. The carved white area is an inset stone.
Despite its appearance this icon shows little sign of age or use and was probably made to be sold.
