3 months ago The image is a hyper-realistic, regal portrayal of the coronation of Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia. It depicts a solemn and dignified moment as a high-ranking cleric places an ornate crown upon the emperor’s head. Haile Selassie stands at the center in richly embroidered gold ceremonial robes, adorned with a prominent cross necklace, symbolizing both his imperial and spiritual authority. His expression is calm, composed, and reflective—befitting the gravity of the moment. The cleric, robed in dark blue and gold religious attire, gently crowns him under a red velvet canopy trimmed with gold. Surrounding them are other clergy and noble figures, also dressed in ornate religious garments, holding imperial relics such as the globus cruciger (orb with a cross), adding to the spiritual gravity and historical authenticity of the scene. The background features intricately patterned walls with warm lighting that enhances the depth and grandeur of the setting, evoking the ambiance of an ancient Ethiopian Orthodox cathedral. tmorgan PRO 0 19
