I want to game the Somali invasion of Ethiopia in the early 16th century.

Does anyone know where I can find some color illustrations of Somali cavalry for the period?

TIA.

Not much on it. Standard unbleached cloth without patches. Most of my research has been on the Western Sahel where colorful dyes ere more common. The further east, the less dye was available.
