Jebena Pendant :: Two Tone

Designer Notes and Details

Our Jebena pendant is both art and tool, featuring classic two-tone inlay. In many Eritrean and Ethiopian homes the indigenous clay coffee pot Jebena functions as a decorative family heirloom with practical use value. This animate object is a part of the Boon/ Buna coffee ceremony, involving the aromatic grinding, roasting and brewing of coffee traditionally served with popcorn and Himbasha bread. Usually facilitated by women, this ritual is an invitation to community, life and remembrance by way of activating all the senses.
