EDITORS COMMENTS
Hazorta House: A Peek into the Unique World of Abyssinia's Shepherd Cavedwellers This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Antonio Sasso, taken from Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World, published in Florence, Italy, in 1843, offers a rare glimpse into the intriguing lives of the Hazorta tribe, a community of shepherd cavedwellers in Abyssinia. The interior of the Hazorta house is depicted with remarkable detail, revealing a cozy and functional living space carved out of the natural caverns of the landscape. The shepherds and their livestock – cattle and sheep – are shown sharing the same space, a testament to the symbiotic relationship between the tribe and their animals. The Hazorta people, also known as troglodytes, have long been renowned for their unique way of life, living in caves and subsisting primarily on their herds. Their dwellings, like the one illustrated here, are carefully carved into the mountainside, providing protection from the elements and offering a sense of community and belonging. The engraving also highlights the traditional attire of the Hazorta people, with the men wearing simple loincloths and the women adorned in colorful garments and jewelry. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the handcoloured engraving bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to experience a moment in the lives of these fascinating shepherd cavedwellers of Abyssinia. This image not only serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Abyssinia but also offers a glimpse into the resilience and adaptability of humankind, as we witness the Hazorta people thriving in their unique and challenging environment.
