Here is a traditional ethiopian painting, depicting the battle of Adwa : http://www.anglo-ethiopian.org/publications/articles/2007winter/pictures/adwapaintinglarge.jpg

Ethiopian art is really different from the African continent, we don't have a lot of masks or little objects, it is usually in the south of Ethiopia that you can find them, but what we usually call ethiopian traditionnal art is what you can see on that picture. Also, you can find ethiopian art in religion, you can consider christian crosses or bibles like art. Someone, I think it's Richard Pankhurst, said Ethiopian art was close to byzantine art.
