The photographer's note on the Wikimedia Commons file page begins: “I saw a drum or two on the floor at almost every Ethiopian Orthodox church I visited, but the Church at the Monastery of Na’akuto La’ab near Lalibela had the largest and most diverse collection. I understand the term for these drums is kebero .” Photographed by A. Davey from Where I Live Now: Pacific Northwest.
