This handcrafted artwork depicts the Obelisk of Axum, one of Ethiopia’s most iconic and historically significant monuments. The piece is intricately rendered using natural straw on rich black textile. It reflects Ethiopia’s proud heritage as the heart of the ancient Axumite Empire and a cradle of African civilization. Created by an Ethiopian refugee helped by RIAC, the work is a striking tribute to cultural identity, history, and artistic resilience. Valued at $85
