Who made this

Kunotei composed this in Addis Ababa, six days after Traryrn died. Her son, Natnael, is from her years with Kridelk. Her son, Nathaniel, is from her years with Oraer. Her daughter, Selam, is from her years with Krukon. Her daughter, Vryvide, is from her years with Krukon. At Traryrn's funeral she said: "I'm glad our paths crossed at all." This is one of two pieces she has made, beside four pictures and one writing.
