This article focuses on a significant and hitherto unpublished icon painted around the mid-fifteenth century by the Master of the Amber-Spotted Tunic. By analysing its style and iconography, it furthers our understanding of history of panel painting in Ethiopia during this period. The study shows that Fǝre ṣǝyon was not the only talented artist who created works in compliance with the policies of Zär’a Ya'ǝqob and that the Master of the Amber-Spotted Tunic was an equally accomplished painter. The latter’s work was in fact capable of conveying complex theological ideas in a visually accessible manner.
