‘Abyssinian Times’ - Handmade Ethiopian Art Clock pairs Ethiopic numerals with a restored Ethiopian painting of Susenyos defeating a demon. Warm earth tones give the scene an intimate feel, with the mounted figure at the heart of the composition.
The unusual hour arrangement refers to Ethiopian timekeeping, which counts daytime hours from around six in the morning: seven in the morning corresponds to the first daytime hour. The marked numeral forms belong to the Ethiopic writing tradition associated with Ge’ez. The demon-slaying subject recalls the story of Saint Susenyos in Ethiopian art.
Choose this clock for its meeting of image, script, and a different daily rhythm. It is a thoughtful addition to an art-filled study or a home with a connection to Ethiopia. Other colors can be discussed on request.
