This sculpture was created for Bigby's Coffee Shop on Grand River Avenue in East Lansing, Michigan. It depicts an abstract coffee mug on a table with the sun (or moon) rising. The title is an Amharic word for coffee shop. Amharic is the predominant language in Ethiopia, where the word "coffee" is thought to have originated.
