This rare masterpiece uncovers the revered literary epic, The Kebra Nagast, which states that the Holy Ark of the Covenant was taken to Ethiopia by Menelik, the son of King Solomon and Makeda, Queen of Sheba from Ethiopia. The painting reflects Ethiopian Emperor Menelik, providing protection of (and detection from) the outside world in an unknown and sacred place in the Ethiopian city of Aksum. The portrait displays this African King & son of Solomon holding a staff, standing near the cherub-adorned golden Ark. The background incorporates warm, golden hues and abstract patterns, evoking a sense of divine holiness and grandeur.
