Vintage hand-painted Ethiopian icon artwork on papyrus, depicting the Baptism of Christ. This piece is fully hand painted in gouache with vivid color and strong folk-art detailing, and it is signed in Geʽez/Amharic script along the lower edge. A striking wall display with cultural depth and spiritual significance.
The artwork is mid-century and later professionally framed under glass in a warm wood frame with a linen mat. The colors remain bright and vivid, especially the blues, reds, yellows, and white details.
Artwork shows age-appropriate wear consistent with mid-century hand-painted papyrus, including discoloration/toning along the outer edges and minor surface wear from earlier moisture exposure before it was framed. The paint surface remains stable with no active flaking.
Frame and mat are later additions and are in great condition with no significant damage- light wear
