ICON STAND 1
7.5" x 3.5"
$150
Ethiopia has been a Christian nation since the 4th century. These wooden icons stands, which are meant to be displayed horizontally on a tabletop or shelf, are hand-carved and hand-painted with scenes from the gospels. They all look like number 1 from the side.
This stand shows little sign of age or use and was probably made to be sold.
