The imperial vestments, the crown and the orb, the imperial sceptre and the sword, the ring and all similar things were specially made of gold and diamonds.
Formerly the only distinctive mark of honour for princes had been their golden headgear. But now we arranged that the golden headgear should be for Rases who had been appointed by the virtues of hard work and services, while for the Crown Prince and the princes of royal desent we had made a pearl-studded headgear(coronet), smaller than a crown but excelling the golden headgear in size and in beauty of workmanship;for the ladies of our family and the wives of princes golden diadems, smaller than those for princes, and corresponding to to their rank.
For military commanders(i.e. for Dejazmatches)vestments and headgear were made of lions' manes that were interlaced with gold and embroidered with velvet.
Furthermore, gold medals were manufactured in large quantities on which the effigies of myself and Empress Manan were engraved together and which were to be given as souvenirs to foreign guest coming to our coronation, either by invitation or of their own volition, as well as to notables and important persons from within the country.

The above was taken from pargragph 3 of page 174 of the Autobiography of Emperor Haile Sellassie 1 Volume One.

When I post again, I intend to make some comments, or ask a few questions, based on the various things which took place in Ethiopia, just to see what I can learn. I am your student.
Again I send many oceans of blessings and self determination to African people everywhere.
ONE BLACK HEART ONE BLACK LOVE
