The Big Art Sale in Hilton attracts notable dignitaries like Minister of Labor & Skills Muferiat Kamil. During its 18th rendition this year, thousands of visitors showed up to see the works of over 100 artists. Ethiopia's rich art history has been subjected to theft and destruction through the ages due to successive wars over the centuries. Most recently, Ethiopians have been asking for the return of a 19th-century shield, taken by British soldiers more than 150 years ago. The engraved shield is part of a vast cache of royal, religious, and military artefacts looted during the 1868 Battle of Maqdala.
