Ethiopia
Mid 20th century
7 x9 cm.

This small Ethiopian Coptic (orthodox) travel icon was carved and painted by Priests of the Coptic church. It is used by the well to do, nuns and monks and is taken on travel as a good luck amulet. It depicts on the left St. George slaying the dragon. On the main body, Mary with child. The wood itself looks worn and old, although it is possible that the images were re-painted on a later date.

If there is interest, I will provide other details/information available prior to purchase.
