Negadras UorchÞá®n: Traditional Menswear of a Gondar Mayor in Ethiopia, circa 1920 This striking photograph captures the essence of Negadras UorchÞá®n, an Ethiopian title given to the appointed leader of a town's merchants in Gondar, located in the northern region of Ethiopia, also known as Abyssinia. The Negadras oversaw the operations of the markets, the administration of customs, and the collection of taxes, effectively acting as a mayor. The Negadras is depicted here wearing his traditional attire, a grand robe adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, symbolizing his position and authority. The robe is paired with a tall, conical hat, known as a mitma, which is a distinctive part of Ethiopian traditional dress.

The robe and hat are intricately designed, reflecting the craftsmanship and artistic talent of the Ethiopian people.
