Anetela(Amharic:ነጠላ) is a handmade scarf-like two-layered cloth made of cotton worn byEthiopianandEritreanwomen. The netela is a worn garment in both countries. The male equivalent is known as thekuta.[1]However, both genders wear netela during Mass at churches of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church denomination as a sign of modesty & for religious purposes.
It has become an important garment to the Ethiopian diaspora due to the military coup in 1974.[2]
