Djiboutian art

Djiboutian art is the artistic culture of Djibouti.[1] It includes parts of the Somali and Afar cultures.[2][3] A lot of Djibouti original art is passed on orally, mainly through song.[4] The oldest evidence of art in Balho are pre-historic rock paintings.[5] Many examples of Islamic, Ottoman, and French influences can be noted in the local buildings, which contain plaster work, motifs and calligraphy.[6]
