Ethiopia - Nobleman with Women of His Household

1922

An Ethiopian nobleman standing in front of a house with women of his household. All are wearing the traditional white garb of Ethiopia. The women are wearing dark cloaks over them, and three are wearing hats. The fourth is bareheaded, and covering her face. The nobleman carries a hat and what may be a fly-swatter. The exact relationship between the man and the women is unclear. Imperial Ethiopia had a large, powerful aristocracy, (1922).
