Photograph of a market somewhere in northern Ethiopia showing what appears to be stacks of shemma cloth being sold at a stall. Shemma cloth is a hand woven material ubiquitous in Ethiopia, but particularly in northern Ethiopia. Lorna R. Marsden purchased an example of a shemma cloth designed for special occasions during her travels which she later donated to the Museum of Anthropology in 2016. This image shows its typical and everyday use in the late 1960s and early 1970s in Ethiopia as a body and head wrap, wrap skirt and shawl.

Photograph of the daily market in Lalibela, Ethiopia near a group of rock-hewn churches where small items are exchanged and sold, mostly food items. The photograph provides context for an ornate, velvet priest's umbrella acquired by Marsden in Ethiopia and later donated to the Museum of Anthropology in that the image shows the everyday use of black umbrellas as a shield from the sun.
