Indo-African by Cesare Vecellio

INDO AFRCANO
Indo-African

Probably based on an Indian African in Habitus variarum orbis gentium. Habitz de nations estranges by Jean-Jacques Boissard, 1581
Back to African, Mamluk and Arabian Costume and Soldiers in De gli habiti antichi, e moderni di diverse parti del mondo libri due by Cesare Vecellio.

Vecellio’s figure titled An African Indian (fig. 26) illustrates a nomadic Arab. The Arabs traveled across the Sahara Desert in caravans accompanied by camels. Three of Vecellio’s North Africans are described as Moors, which can refer to persons of mixed Berber and Arab descent or simply black people.⁵³
