Ankelba is a traditional leather baby carrier used in various rural areas of Ethiopia, such as Raya and Dessie in the north, and Hamer, Mursi, and Surma in the south. Made from oxskin pelt called 'K’urbet', it serves multiple purposes, including carrying babies, grain, and as a blanket or material for shoes and clothes. In Raya, Ankelba is polished with butter and scented leaves like African wormwood and Ades, making it smooth and comfortable for mothers to use while working or walking. This method also protects the baby from harm. Raya women use Ankelba until their child is three to four years old. Similarly, many African countries use a cloth called 'Kanga' for carrying babies on the back.
