SOLD ITEM 10514 - Buffalo hide warriors shield Funji Sudan 19th c

There are 12 images of this item.

Funji Sudan buffalo hide warrior's shield. Africa, 19th century. Measures 49 inches high and 14 inches wide. Excellent patina, original condition. WIKIPEDIA: The Funj are an ethnic group in present-day Sudan. The Funj set up the Funj Sultanate with Abdallah Jamma and ruled the area for several centuries. The Funj rose in southern Nubia and had overthrown the remnants of the old Christian kingdom of Alodia. In 1504 a Funj leader named Amara Dunqas, founded the Black Sultanate at Sannar (the capital). The Black Sultanate soon became the keystone of the Funj Empire. The origins of the Funj are not clearly known. However, there are three different hypotheses regarding their origin. The Funj claimed to be descendants of Banu Umayya through those who escaped the slaughter of their family by the Abbasids and fled to Abyssinia and thence into the Nubian territory. Since the Ja'alin claimed descent from the Abbasids and the Abdallab from the Juhayna, the Funj may have claimed Umayyad descent to express their superiority to their subject peoples.

"Thanks so much for the appraisal - our curiosity has now been satisfied. For the last 4 years, since purchasing the home, we have often wondered the value. Have a wonderful week." - Ryan and Lesley H

"Thank you so much... I have a similar table, in not as good of condition... it has a minor split and a ring from a hot plate.... I am considering selling it, so I appreciate this service you provide... thanks so much." - M

"I just want to take a moment to respond with a hearty thank you for being out there with this information! Until I punched in "filigree" along with antique/brass/hanging/Indian/etc......I wasn't pulling up any pictures that resemble what I have. My Dad was an art/antique/music box collector-dealer who left behind many items I have hung onto, but never knew the approximate value of. I have one such fixture with the same lattice-type work, but it is taller, in that it has a more domed top/shape. It also only has one bulb. Now, I'm off to check your response on the cloisonne lamp...... Thanks again.......I'm glad to know you're out there." - Debbie G
