Cool West African raffia cloth belonging to Dr Cecilia Candreus at Uppsala University. I went to a seminar at the History Department there for a presentation about West African raffia cloth and other objects in royal collections in the 17th century.
Some of my favourite subjects: textiles, African history, and the Early Modern period.

Woke up this morning thinking about African history. I often think about that.
This time it was the West African kingdoms of Mali. Mali was an empire that ruled over an area from Lake Tchad to the Atlantic, and who, like its predecessor Ghana, was known for it's splendour and culture. Most known to Europeans was probably Mansa Musa, (reigned 1312-1337). Here you can see him depicted on a Catalan atlas from 1375.

I am also thinking about the cotton production in West Africa in the 17th century. But that is a little harder to illustrate ;)
