    The background decorations are all Ethiopian wooden objects, such as a small serving bowl (Jimma area) in the front, A beautiful deeply carved (church) drinking cup.

    Beautiful arrangement of a special bracelet.  I have never seen this kind in such soft, high grade silver.  It is gorgeous.

    I love the bracelt, but I am also absolutely thrilled the the carved drinking cup. Wonderful work!

    It is not a good picture of the ecclestical cup, it has the Gondar Angels carved on it and at the bottom a whole text engraved. Gr. Ingrid.
