Central Africa, Anziku Warrior,1797

Negre Anzikos Armé en Guerre. Negro Anzikos Armed in War. The Anziku Kingdom was a pre-colonial West Central African state of modern Republic of Congo. The Anzikus may have begun as a military class protecting the BaKongo border. They were famed as excellent warriors and courageous. They specialized in archery with poison arrows. In close combat, they relied on battle axes. The kingdom of Anziku survived well into the 19th century. This is likely in no little part due to its relative isolation from coastal powers. In 1880, the French, from whom much of our information about Anziku derives, convinced the kingdom to become a vassal in return for protection. Costumes of Different Countries, hand-tinted engraving by Labrousse, published by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, 1797.
