Talismanic Art of Ethiopia

 The scroll can heal sick.

Talismanic scroll: Pigment on vellum, Northern highlands, 18th-19th century
Talismanic scrolls are made to protect and heal the sick. Each scroll is unique, cut to the exact height of the patient, with asmar (secret names) prayers written in Ge'ez, the ancient language used by the Christian Church in Ethiopia Designs such as the net of the Solomon (centre) are to trap demons.

Dolls: Pottery, cloth and metal Falasha people, (Beta Israel), Gondar, 20th century

Small pottery mothers carrying infants, are made by Falasha woman mainly for sale to tourists.

The Falasha or Beta Israel are Ethiopoan Jews whose origins are steeped in legend. Isolated from other jewish communities, they have developed a uniquely Ethiopian form of Judaism.
The Falasha have a long history in Ethiopia - there is evidence of a Jewish influence in Aksum before the 4th century AD.
