Consulter la cote et le prix de African Iron Slave Shackles , Mid 18Th Century, mid 18th century



Description : African Iron Slave Shackles , mid 18th century, These wrought iron slave shackles were likely crafted in Africa rather than Europe because they are relatively cumbersome to close and open. Europeans would have instead closed the shackles with a padlock. The size of the shackle loops indicate they were used on arms rather than legs to restrain enslaved people aboard ships crossing the Atlantic from Africa to the Americas during the Middle Passage. For a very similar example, see: Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Cuture, #2.a & 2.b.
