Haloed figure raises two fingers over a huddle of attentive companions.

This lithograph from Ethiopia depicting the resurrected Christ with the apostles is from Ethiopia, East Africa, and is contemporary. It is ink on paper. Lithography prints an image from a flat stone or plate using the natural repulsion of oil and water, and in Ethiopia it has been used for popular religious imagery. Painted scene with a central robed, haloed figure seated above, one hand raised. Several bearded and haloed figures gather below in red, green and blue robes. The sky shades from orange red into dark green. It is 8.5 inches wide and 11 high.

A lot of faces, each one given its own outline.
