Sudan: ancient treasures
Sudanese Bronze Helmet
'The object that we looked at is a
called a Sudanese helmet. It is made out of bronze and belonged to
a rich warrior. It was made in the 19th century, the height is 35cm
and it is decorated with Arabic writing. Only a Muslim wore it
because in the picture we saw near the display there was a group of
Muslims wearing similar armour and
fighting.'
