This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient artistry from Ethiopia. Dating back to the 14th century during the Coptic Period, this Arab manuscript is adorned with an illustration that depicts two angels holding swords. Crafted on parchment and accompanied by text on magic, this artifact provides a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Ethiopia. The image captures the vertical page of the manuscript, highlighting a single object that immediately draws attention - two angelic figures gracefully clutching their swords. The overhead view allows us to appreciate their intricate details and delicate craftsmanship. These celestial beings exude power and strength as they firmly grasp their weapons, symbolizing protection or perhaps even divine intervention. The presence of Arabic script alongside non-western characters adds another layer of intrigue to this archeological artifact. It serves as a testament to the diverse influences that have shaped Ethiopian culture throughout centuries. As we gaze upon this studio shot photograph, we are transported back in time, connecting with humanity's past through this extraordinary representation of angels in Ethiopian art. This image invites us to ponder upon the significance these heavenly beings held within Ethiopian society during the 14th century while reminding us of our shared human fascination with spirituality and mythology across different civilizations.
