The ranks of some (but not all) Ethiopian orders conform to European norms, being: knight of the collar, knight grand cross, knight grand officer, knight commander, knight officer, knight, dame, companion. Order of King Solomon. Founded in 1874 as part of the Order of Solomon's Seal (see below) and bestowed in one rank (knight or dame), the Order of King Solomon is usually reserved to monarchs and heads of state. It is a rather ornate decoration suspended from a collar chain. Order of King Solomon's Seal. Established by Emperor John IV in 1874, the Order of Solomon's Seal was at first bestowed in several ranks, though today it is usually conferred in the rank of knight grand cross. In 1922, it was divided to form the Order of King Solomon (see above) and the present Order of King Solomon's Seal. The insignia, a cross within the Seal of King Solomon ('Star of David'), is suspended from a deep green ribbon. Order of the Queen of Sheba. Empress Zawditu founded this order for ladies in 1922, but it was soon extended to gentlemen in several ranks. The insignia is a green and purple star of Solomon bearing, in the centre, the cipher of Queen Makeda suspended from a purple and pale green ribbon. Order of the Holy Trinity. Established in 1930 on the occasion of the coronation of Emperor Haile Selassie, this order was initially bestowed in several ranks but today is awarded almost exclusively in the grade of knight grand cross. The decoration is a gold medallion displaying the Holy Trinity on a sky blue enameled background, suspended from a red and gold ribbon.
