Ethiopian art

Painting in Istifanos Monastery

Ethiopian art is the manifestation in art of the Ethiopian civilization. Primarily African Christian [1] civilization, Ethiopian art traditions have developed for millennia along side Christian Art the world over, and since the 7th century, the Islamic artistic traditions as well. The main artistic expressions have been architecture, painting, goldsmithing, and manuscript illuminations. There is also a range of traditions in textiles, many with woven geometric decoration, along side many more plain styles. [2]
