Making Posters featuring different cultures Warriors to decorate my brothers 7th Grade History Class. Question about accurate Armor/Dress.

by wildGRUB123

Hello,

My brother is a Seventh Grade History Teacher and I am trying to surprise him with a few of posters to decorate his class. My main plan is to feature historically accurate warriors of each culture in the forfront, with maps of the controlled territory and some facts in the back ground. Something to get the kids interested!

My brother covers:

  • Songhai Empire
  • Mali Empire
  • Imperial China
  • Feudal Japan
  • Aztec Empire
  • Inca Empire
  • Spanish Conquests

Now for my question:

Could you point me the direction of a description or illustration of what the Songhai or Malian Warriors/ Soldiers wore into battle?

So far I haven't found anything as definitive as the information on, say that of the Eagle Warrior or the Sengoku Samurai.

Thank you so much in advance!

I have found a brief description of the Mandekalu infantry, which made up the core of the Mali Empire's Military

The Mexicolore site is explicitly geared toward being an educational resource on the subject of the Aztecs. It won't be winning awards for design any time soon, but it does feature extensive amounts of graphics from original sources, including depictions of eagles/jaguars.
