Ancient Ethiopian Art Culture

Ethiopia was initially called the “Kingdom of Aksum”, during its ancient times. Later, during the 13th century C.E., it was called the “Kingdom of Abyssinia”, and while the country used both names “Abyssinia” and “Ethiopia” interchangeably throughout centuries, it is seen to finally have rested on the name “Ethiopia” at the end of the 20th century. For clarity, this article will use the name “Ethiopia” throughout, regardless of period.
