The fall and death of Ahmed Gran (1528-1540), shot by a Portuguese musketeer. Ahmed Gran was probably the fiercest Muslim warrior to battle the Christians in Ethiopia. He was a 16th century warrior whose powers were said to be miraculous. He was impervious to bullets, and his huge sword could severe a tree. He was killed by a combined Portuguese-Ethiopian army. Wooden panel painted at the beginning of this century by Kegneketa Jemlieri Hailu of Gondar. The African Adventure - A History of Africa's Explorers by Timothy Severin, page 49.
