Empire of Ethiopia, 1949
In 1949 a Royal Standard was introduced that also could function as a War Flag. On the obverse side it depicts the Lion of Judah, encircled by the collar of the Order of Solomon’s Seal; in each corner of the Standard is the badge of the order, a Star of Solomon or David with a cross. The inscription in Amharic script reads “The victorious Lion of the tribe of Judah”.
