Note 204 — Chapter VIII

Reading edition

The favourite ornament of the flag, like the umbrella, is a blue-handled red-bladed knife on each alternate valance-flap, the other being occupied by decapitated heads wearing the East Indian kan-top, or ear-cap, which the Egbos call “filla,” having probably derived it from the Fulas.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
