From: Marriage of Her Royal Highness The Princess Elizabeth and Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten, Royal Navy, List of Wedding Gifts, St James's Palace, 20th November 1947: The Emperor of Ethiopia A gold tiara chased in openwork with symbolic devices A gold cigarette case bearing the Royal Arms of Ethiopia, the front enriched with filigree work A jewel casket of gold filigree work The Empress of Ethiopia A gold vanity case elaborately chased and engraved and enriched with filigree work. These all read like very empressive works. The publication is not illustrated but we have seen many photos of display cases in that exhibition of the wedding gifts.
