Historical Accent:

The Dervish Infantry set depicts warriors fighting on the side of the Mahdist rebels in Sudan during the second half of the 19th century. These figures faithfully represent the characteristic infantry that became famous in battles such as Omdurman (1898), key moments in the conflicts between the Mahdists and the British-Egyptian forces. The Mahdists – also called "Dervish" by the British – were noted for their remarkable bravery, diversity of weaponry, and colorful traditional clothing. The period of use is the colonial era, the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, during the intense conflicts in Northeast Africa.
