Haile Selassie LS as Emperor of Ethiopia

Item Details

Description

Haile Selassie LS as Emperor of Ethiopia

Letter signed by Haile Selassie as Emperor of Ethiopia, with the Lion of Judah stamp at the top. The untranslated letter is penned in Amharic, with Selassie signature underneath, and then an Italian translation of the letter in pencil. Bifolium document measures 9.5" x 13.125". Folds, some creasing and soiling, a small split starting at the vertical fold. Overall in very good condition. With PSA/DNA Letter of Authenticity.

Haile Selassie (1892-1975) was Emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974. He rose to power as Regent Plenipotentiary of Ethiopia (Enderase) for Empress Zewditu from 1916. Haile Selassie is widely considered a defining figure in modern Ethiopian history, and the key figure of Rastafari, a religious movement in Jamaica which emerged shortly after he became emperor in the 1930s. He was a member of the Solomonic dynasty which claims to trace lineage to Emperor Menelik I, believed to be the son of King Solomon and Makeda the Queen of Sheba.

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
