dem leopards tho

Yeah they had a thing for leopards since leopards symbolized strength I think

lions wouldve been cooler 😠

i really like the spears

Yeah lol

here’s a benin warrior with a Leopard btw lol

you know what wouldve been the most badass thing ever if you could make those wild cats fight for you

imagine

Oh yeah lol
I wonder if they ever did that since they fucking had leopards lol

i dont think thats possible tbh

like i feel like if u let them off the leash they would either run away or attack some random dude

Yeah

Best they stay a symbol and not as a tool for fighting lol

They were made with Bronze
