ADDIS ABABA - A museum in Britain has agreed to return a ruler’s locks of hair cut from his corpse by a British soldier more than 150 years ago, Ethiopia said on Monday.
The locks, cut as a souvenir by an army artist, have been part of The National Army Museum’s collection in London since 1959, donated by the family of an artist who painted the emperor on his deathbed, the museum said. “The National Army Museum remains in discussions with the Embassy of Ethiopia in London on arrangements for formally returning the items.”
Emperor Tewodros II claimed a bloodline dating back to the biblical King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. His demise came after a British force stormed his mountaintop fortress to free European diplomats, missionaries and adventurers he had jailed.
