Sounds more like Rastafarians (the marijuana smokers), which do have connections to Ethiopia in their beliefs.
@Aquitaine - can you do another version where the line touches the bottom of the T and the bottom of the Y? As it is, the line seems to have the...

Or Gutierrez I see an i after the t, which would be a more common spelling. And, unfortunately for identifying the artist, an extremely common...
A question for those knowledgeable on this topic: Is it patina or just grime if it washes off in a dishwasher. Would a chemically changed surface...
