The Queen of Sheba is one of the most famous women of antiquity,
rivaled only by Cleopatra and Helen of Troy for wealth, power and
beauty. She is best known for her legendary meeting with King
Solomon, an encounter that has resonated through time, nowhere more
powerfully than in Ethiopia, where she is a foundational figures
within the Ethiopian Church. There, the legend is known not only
through the text called the Kebra Nagast, but also through
traditional paintings. One of the most impressive of these
paintings is a goatskin example by the artist Janbaru Wandemmu, at
Groton School, USA, given by Professor Asrat Woldeyes, personal
physician to Haile Selassie. The painting, which shows the legend
in 25 panels, is presented here alongside another 56-panel work.
This book illustrates the scenes from both paintings, with
translations of their accompanying texts and an introduction.
