Description: A beautiful and highly detailed Ethiopian Orthodox folk art painting. This type of narrative art (panel-strip polyptych) is a classic example of the rich Christian culture and iconography from the Horn of Africa. Technique and Support: This unique artwork is produced according to centuries-old artisanal traditions. The Support: Handmade traditional Ethiopian parchment (Birana), made from carefully scraped and tightly stretched goatskin. This gives the work its characteristic organic texture and exceptional durability. The Medium: Hand-painted with traditional tempera (pigments mixed with a natural binder), which provides a deep, matte color wash. Graphic composition: The outlines and the expressive Ge’ez/Amharic script above the scenes are hand-applied with a traditional bamboo pen (qelem) and natural ink. Depiction: The painting shows a sequence of successive scenes telling the famous historical and religious epic of the Queen of Sheba (Makeda) and King Solomon, a central story in the Ethiopian tradition (the Kebra Nagast). The figures are depicted with the large, almond-shaped eyes and strong outlines that are so characteristic of this iconic painting style. The parchment is tightly stretched and mounted in a modern, open deep-black wooden frame (without glass), allowing the characteristic texture of the original hide to shine. The work is ready to be hung directly. Specifications: Origin: Ethiopia Material: Tempura and ink on goatskin parchment (Birana) Frame: Open wooden frame (without glass, frame width approx. 2.5 cm) Dimensions including frame: 95 x 44 cm Dimensions excluding frame: 90 x 39 cm
