Hadendoa Hippo Shields
The two thick ones look like hippo hide shields as used by Hadendoa and Beja tribesmen in the Sudan in the 19th-early 20th century. They were usually undecorated on the outside and sometimes had a couple of notches on the outer edge...commonly used in the battles at Khartoum and Omdurman. I am looking for a good Hadendoa hippo hide shield circa 1880s...if anyone has any leads.
