This art form is completely unique to Ethiopia. A different Christian icon is portrayed on each of these beautiful wooden pieces. On a table top, shelf or desktop, these stands, being three-dimensional and movable, can be arranged in different ways allowing the owner to switch up their placement for a change now and again. This will also assure that all of the workmanship put into your stand is shown. The colors used to illustrate the icons are vibrant and reminiscent of antiques and old world influences. Some of the colors are metallic and the rich wood used for the background of each painted scene is beautiful and complements any style of decorating. Candlelight and metals enhance the beauty of these pieces. Displayed in front of a painting on the wall above your icon is a good idea, leading the eye around to take in all the art. Choosing a color or two that blend with the tones in the icon would be brilliant. Another item to display, echoing the feeling of these icons, is a short stack of attractive antique books or Bibles. Or place a sculpture of wood, metal or pottery near the icon stand in a beautiful grouping.
