Description: Stone statue from Addi-Galamo, Tigray Province (northern Ethiopia), 6th - 5th century BCE. I'd like to think the shallow holes originally contained beautiful inlays. The statue bears an inscription in South Arabian "For God Grants a Child to Yamanat." In the collection of the National Museum, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Taken without flash. (I am indebted to the blog "Will's Way" willdoherty.org/wordpress/?cat=71 for the information about this piece; the author is more thorough about documenting his museum photos than I am.) I've complied with restrictions on the use of flash, and taken photos only when permitted by the museum.
