Ethiopian
Souvenir
Ethiopia has rich history, diverse culture and is a country
where followers of different religions and beliefs live in
absolute harmony. This diversity has nothing to add but beauty
to the life of the people. The beauty derived from its diversity
is seen in the creative works of artisans producing crafts
depicting the cultures and beliefs of the various nations and
nationalities of the country. A visitor to Habesha’s Ethiopian
souvenir shop discovers the truly ancient Ethiopia in a modern
shopping mall of the 21st century.
African Collections
Addis Ababa is known to be the political and diplomatic capital
city of Africa hosting the Head Quarters of the African Union
and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa. In almost
all cases, capital cities are not only known to be seats of
states but also cultural centers. Nevertheless, the reality on
the ground shows that China, India and the Middle East are
better represented in the capital than the continent of Africa.
We can hardly find any place that reflects the cultural values
of Africa be it in terms of restaurants, souvenir shops,
museums, etc. In a bid to bridge this lacuna, Habesha
Traditional Center and Art Gallery has opened African souvenir
Shop in Dembel City Center. Habesha’s African collection has
wide varieties of superb quality African souvenirs imported from
Kenya, Tanzania and northern Africa. |
