Dan lepide in olden days acted as the Emir of Kano's champion;he was supposed to challenge to fight any who spoke evil of the Emir.
The scarlet and green of his robes denotes that he is one of the Emirs servants.Dan lepide's helmet is an elaborate structure made of brass and copper padded below to protect the head,and decorated on top with ostrich feathers.The shirt and shoulders are protected with leather and thin plates decorated with hammered patterns and edged with ostrich feathers.The sash supports long silk tassels and a sword.The riding boots are made of soft Kano leather.
