Featured carved wood plate and powder horn

My grandparents were missionaries in Madagascar and Ethiopia for a year in the mid 1950s. When they left for home they got some gifts and also made purchases in transit. I have not seen similar styling looking on line and wondering about origins of both. No info from family.

 

Like the plate a lot!

@2manybooks ?

 

The plate is very nicely carved. The imagery is consistent with having come from Madagascar, with the zebu cattle, and the houses with the straight roof lines. (Traditional Ethiopian houses are conical.)

The powder horn looks similar to these, identified as Ethiopian:

Thank you 2manybooks. With these photos the powder horn is pretty obvious. I think I will research the time period black powder guns would still have been in use there. I have always loved the plate and asked for it out of the items distributed in the family. I remember as a child looking through things in the spare room. There was a tortoise shell, an ostrich egg, two short metal spears and I think a shield, a small brass padlock cast in the shape of a bulldog, what looked like a Navajo rug, a daguerrotype (i think) of a native american couple or family(memory fails), and I think a few other items that don't quite come to mind. Fond memories.

 

I think you will find that some are still in use.
It sounds like there was an interesting family collection.
