About this artwork
This artwork visualizes a historic and spiritual connection between Ethiopia and Israel that reaches back nearly 3,000 years. It draws on the Kebra Nagast and the Bible to recount the story of King Solomon and Queen Sheba. According to tradition, their son, Menelik I, became the first king of Ethiopia’s Solomonic dynasty, symbolizing a sacred transfer of royal and spiritual heritage.
The narrative tells that Menelik I brought the Ark of the Covenant… to Ethiopia, accompanied by the sons of Israel. This tradition remains central to the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, where a tabot represents the Ark in every church.
In this painting, I depict a ceremonial procession honoring the tabot, with devoted followers surrounding it. A symbolic reference to the Obelisk of Axum anchors the composition, uniting history, faith, and cultural memory.
