Men at Work in Ethiopia

Mexico Ireland
We don't have that many samples from the African continent — check that out at our countrylist —, but what we have makes clear that Ethiopia stands apart.

Up until now, we have no other sign from Africa showing this design: a man holding a spadeful of earth and no sand heaps in the picture.

This way of doing is almost exclusively restricted to Central- and South-America with, e.g., a find from Portugal and another from Indonesia as the proverbial exceptions. (see Argentina for some other observations about the number of heaps).
