Ethiophia - Honor the TribeS
Leather: Brown
Dimension: Small 91 x 152 cm 3 x 5''
Skillfully crafted by the artisan Simenesh in the Bazete village, this rug embodies the profound heritage of the Ari Tribe. Using leather as his canvas, Bazete has burned designs into the material with steel and wood poles, a technique that reflects the tribe's unique body art traditions.
Each burn mark on this rug is not merely a design—it's a testament to the Ari Tribe's artistry and a journey into their enduring legacy.

THE PROCESS, THE PEOPLE.
The Ari people in Ethiopia are known for their decorative homes, body painting, and pottery. The women create murals known as bartsi using natural pigments, while men focus on farming.
Both genders wear jewelry, and the women's skirts are made of koisha leaves. The Ari are skilled at clay and metal work and produce a popular local corn-based alcohol.
