IMG_2834 Ethiopian silver jam containers

Betty, this lovely jam dish with saucer was the work of the handicraft school, the silver jewelry department under supervision of an Armenian Supervisor and teacher, Nalbandian(if I remember correctly) They had a one time exhibition of the whole school and these were in the silver department, rather heavy and solid, the idea was to continue with the work I think it was in 1972-3. In 1974 the revolution stuck up its head and this lovely work was stopped. I suppose lack of silver. Now on the next photo I do show the work of the son of this teacher who started out rather somewhat late in life to produce very skilled work, two items you can see .
