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]
