A character recorded in both the Old Testament and the Qur'an, the African queen, who admired Solomon's wisdom, defied danger and crossed the Red Sea from Ethiopia to Jerusalem to visit King Solomon in Jerusalem

King Solomon fell in love with his beauty and charisma. The love that angered God ended up being a turning point in the decline of the Jewish kingdom, and the pregnant Queen of Sheba had to run away.

I like the side face of the statue the most. The queen's eyes are slightly closed, showing a majestic and beautiful demeanor and secrecy about the past of her love.
