THE DAHOMY WARS 1892
| For decades, since their independence from the Oyo empire in the 1820's the Dahomey had held sway over its neighbours. Frequently attacking terrorizing them, taking captives for slavery even human sacrifice. Head hunting was also common ! Situated on a pestilent ridden strip of swamp jungle on West Africa's slave coast the black African state of Dahomey maintained a standing army of around 12,000 warriors, the most distinctive feature of which was the use of women (known as Amazons) as the elite shock troops of the army. These superb figures sculptured by Mike Owen, represent faithfully one of the smallest yet most remarkable military organizations in colonial history their redoubtable enemies the French Foreign legion who had the unenviable job of quelling the Unleashed Demons! |
