This is the interior of the Imperial Treasury of Ethiopia at Axum in 1973

The biblical Ark of the Covenant (yes, THAT one) was supposed to have been kept here, but they didn't show it to me anyhow. They did let me in, however, which not even the emperor was supposed to be allowed

Those ARE some of the crowns of Ethiopia, by the way.
