Your help as always is most appreciated .. I did not think to add this to my existing thread , the protocol of such things is new to me . Yes the metal is silver or white metal and there are glass beads and coin like discs in copper or bronze with some silver coloured ones too. Richmond |

You are truly a man of many hats Readline !!
Seriously, while these items deviate considerably from the arms and armour course of the forum, their interest factor cannot be discounted. It is always interesting to see the material culture that surrounds the ethnographic weapons we study, and offers intriguing perspective. It would be interesting to see items of weaponry associated with the people using these...for example with the Fulani hat you showed on the other thread, I have seen photos of these tribesmen wearing similar hats and wearing takoubas. |
