Abstract: | Up to now, little has been published regarding the multitude of textiles of historic or artistic interest imported into Ethiopia over the ages to embellish the courts of its rulers, enrich the lives of their aristocratic followers and furnish important churches in the manner of Christian churches abroad. The present paper describes the research that has been done to date in this field, lists published material, and points to worthwhile projects that could be undertaken in the future. Photographs of 12 textiles (most in colour) are included. Ref. [ASC Leiden abstract] |
