Text?

Most of the sources provided show the flag with text on the top and bottom of the lion, unsure if these are other flags/variant flags or where they versions of the national flag? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BlinxTheKitty (talk • contribs) 23:36, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Sources and Text Follow up

Alot of the sources provided show rather what i assume are banners of a unit with text and not the actual national flag, the 4th source (http://www.ethiopiancrown.org/pics/Students99.JPG) show's a modern replica flag (new folding wrinkles and even a product tag on it) that you can buy at a flag shop anywhere online, compare the 4th source to these https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41jEwQAZ9JL._AC_SS350_.jpg https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/25UAAMXQI5tRixi4/s-l300.jpg again with it being a replica/modern reproduction it's not a good source for a flag of historical value and the lion in the SVG appears to be heavily different from actual Ethiopian national flags from the time: https://dyn1.heritagestatic.com/lf?set=path%5B2%2F1%2F4%2F4%2F2%2F21442102%5D&call=url%5Bfile%3Aproduct.chain%5D https://www.picclickimg.com/d/l400/pict/303675773799_/DRAPEAU-Abyssinia-Ethiopian-Empire-Abyssinie-%C3%89thiopie-Emperor-FLAG.jpg i also did some digging and these flags with text are common in churches like this stock image here https://c8.alamy.com/comp/PNG9WE/flags-interior-holy-trinity-cathedral-aka-kidist-selassie-in-amharic-ethiopian-orthodox-tewahedo-church-resting-place-of-emperor-haile-selassi-PNG9WE.jpg i believe this flag maybe inaccurate heavily, i found no sources for the lions red eyes either and it's staff is heavily undetailed vs actual variants of the flag. --BlinxTheKitty (talk) 16:23, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
