My 2 (euro)cents: Could be Zion, given the Ethiopian's belief that they are a lost tribe of Israel. After all, the full title of H.I.M. Haile Selassie included "conquering lion of Judea". The Rastafarians followed on this, hence their bizarre preoccupation with "everything Zion". As the great Bob Marley sand, "Iron like a lion in Zion".
