British Museum again

I looked at so many things on my trip to the British Museum that it's taken me ages to get round to putting them all on my blog.

I will continue with two paintings from Ethiopia:

 The Crucifiction of Christ, painted around 1855.

The Coronation of Haile Selaisse, 1930. 

Haile Selaisse was the regent of Ethiopia from 1916 to 1930.
