The spectacular Church and Emperor: An Ethiopian Crucifixion exhibition at The British Museum celebrates the first Easter of the Ethiopian millennium with a display that focuses on a recently conserved painting originating from Tigray in northern Ethiopia.
The painting was made in the mid-19th century for the Church of The Saviour of the World at Adwa. It was donated to the Museum in 1893 by James Theodore Bent, but has never before been on public display.
