Meet my interpretation of Makeda, the biblical Queen of Sheba known for her expedition to visit King Solomon of Israel. Some sources claim that Sheba was located in southern Arabia (in the area of modern Yemen), but I chose to go with the other tradition that identifies it with modern Ethiopia (where Makeda to this day enjoys a legendary status as a founding heroine of sorts, much like Genghis Khan does in Mongolia or Alexander the Great in Greece and Macedonia).
