[QUOTE="Lecollectionneur, post: 494226, member: 8569"]This is a good manner to take this item. In the past I've studied and after that wrote about slavery with the trade of some material used for the return of the ships to europe, slavery in africa as in certain asian country is millennial as said before, there is an interesting particularity to give as a precision in the discussion, as many other representations, african people don't show this aspect in their traditions, [URL='https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/08/Slave_Market%2C_Mono_version.jpg']they can show slaves as the egyptians made for certain ceremonies for example[/URL](related to [URL='https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Slave_Market,_Mono_version.jpg']this page[/URL]), but never like that which is a Judaeo-christian point of view of the slaves themselves. And as all afro-american works of art made politically or not against slavery have to be considered with respect and preserved, those items sold on the web for such prices and with those fantasist descriptions are just indecent.[/QUOTE]
