The Amshaji in his distinctive attire and cane in 1860

Egypt

Oh, what a time! Memories from the fragrance of history indeed! The Amshaji was a unique figure who commanded a special aura in the streets. His presence preceded the royal procession or the pashas' carriages, as if you were watching an official procession, but with a popular flavor!

"Walk away, you and him... Walk away and pray for the Prophet."

That's not just a sentence; it was street music back then! The Amshaji always wore distinctive attire and carried a cane with acrobatic movements, all to clear the way for horse-drawn carriages.

The photo is from 1860? We're actually watching a snapshot from the nineteenth century.
