The Ethiopian coffee pot or jebana is a central part of a traditional Ethiopian ceremony, the coffee ceremony. The design of the jebana is a handmade clay vessel with a wide round base funneling up to a narrow summit. The rounded bottom sits in a specially woven ring, or directly in sand to avoid it falling over. This a useful part of Ethiopia to take home or give to someone to enjoy their coffee in the same way.
Originally designed to keep warm in the chilly highlands of Ethiopia, the Gabi is a thick cotton blanket, which can be used as a wrap. It is patterned on one or both sides and can be made in a variety of colors. A stylish way to keep warm on cold nights at home or out and about.
Ethiopian jewelry can come in a variety of designs, made generally from silver or native Ethiopian stones. Many of the images portrayed on Ethiopian jewelry are crosses, signifying Ethiopia's Christian history, or Rastafarian images, in reference to the former Emperor Haile Selassie. Bracelets, necklaces and earrings are the most common items of Ethiopian jewelry.
Some of the major images of Ethiopia are from the Rastafarian culture. T-shirts and other items bearing the red, yellow and green of the Ethiopian flag and images of the Lion of Judah are popular choices. Another choice is the iconic Rastafarian woolly hat.
