That looks great, super condition and excellent buy. lately I have been thinking that "Manding" is becoming one of those collector words that sums up a general style of work. I suppose it is just convenience. I am going to say Sahel in future as this hints at many Sultanates in this vast area of Africa untill more accurate information is available. I am getting crabby these days. I just dislike the way some here say collector views and terms turn into a kind of gospel.
