Sudanese Haladie?

katana · 22nd January 2008, 02:05 PM

I have not been able to find Arabic versions of the haladie or the mace that I posted. Has anyone seen or knows of such versions.....if there are none...perhaps there was a more direct link between India and the Sudan.

Perhaps it was slaves that was one of the main commodities of the Arabic trading routes. Indians taken to the Sudan

Arab slave trading was rife and the Sudan was a good market to sell. Perhaps some of these slaves brought the haladie design with them

Bearing in mind that the value of a slave was not just physical health but skills or knowledge they pocessed.
