Ethiopian Icons

I've just recently become aware of the whole world of Ethiopian painting. I don't really have much to say about it, because I don't really know anything about it yet except that I find it beautiful. So I'll just show you some examples of Ethiopian Christian icons.

St George slaying the dragon:


The flight to Egypt:


Another St George. Apparently George is very popular in Ethiopia:


Madonna and child. I don't know who the figures in the background are. Magi?
