  • Maqdala 1868 display, 5 April 2018 - 30 June 2019 Woman’s dress, or kamis, belonging to Queen Terunesh ｜ የሴቶች ቀሚስ፣ የእቴጌ ጥሩነሽ ንብረት Made in Ethiopia around 1860 This dress was probably given to Queen Terunesh as part of her wedding dowry when she married Emperor Tewodros, aged about 12 years old. The dress has been extended with additional panels at the bottom, perhaps to allow the queen to continue wearing it as she grew older and taller. The series of embroidered bands around the neck hang down the front of the chest, mimicking a large piece of jewellery. I knew nothing of the history of Queen Terunesh, wife of a king and mother to a prince. Now I am gazing at her dress, its colour and embroidery preserved, a symbol of a young girl becoming a woman. - Almaz Tesfaye, V&A Estates Services, member of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church [5 April 2018 - 30 June 2019] RELATED LABEL: Pair of anklets Ethiopia 1800–67 Contemporary reports record that the widowed queen wished to be escorted back to her native province of Semyen but she died en route, possibly of lung disease. Her funeral took place on 16 May 1868 in the great church at Chelicut and was covered in the Illustrated London News. The queen’s possessions were sent on to the Secretary of State for India at the India Office in London. They were given to the South Kensington Museum (now the V&A) the following year. Silver Given by the Secretary of State for India Museum no. 403&A-1869 [15/11/2012 - 03/02/2013] (en)
