So, first off, you have to know where to buy. You must find a great collector, art gallery, museum, or exhibit, and make sure that they sell only genuine pieces of art. This will ensure that it is a classic piece, as well as ensuring that the piece is an original (if this is what you are looking for). Additionally, you will have a wider array of pieces to choose from, rather than if you were to buy from a personal seller, who would only have one or two pieces available to them to show to you.

You will also want to consider the work itself. The colors used, how contemporary it is, how in line it is with other Ethiopian work, and all aspects of the art itself. You want to find a classic, but at the same time you want it to be a piece that anyone who comes into your home and sees it, would love. So, you have to have a great eye, and you have to know where you are buying from, in order to get a great piece. Don’t rush in, instead, take the time, and find the genuine pieces.
