Ethiopia - C13
This stamp is Ethiopia Scott No. C13, from a 1931 airmail set of 7.
The word TAFARI on the bottom line is the divine name of Haile Selassi. The Rastafari religion was formed, in Jamaica, with Selassi, or Ras Tafari, as their messiah.

I am unable to identify origin of this beautiful MNH stamp. Looks to be circa 1930s-40s.
Any input on this item will be greatly appreciated!
