Work of good quality in high relief bearing the date of 1674. Indeed this date is significant of the development of slavery under Louis XIV. The explosion in the number of slaves corresponds to the decisions taken at Versailles by Louis XIV between 1671 and 1674 to promote the cultivation of sugar to the detriment of that of tobacco. Between 1674 and 1680, the number of slaves in Martinique doubled. Between 1673 and 1700, it has already increased sixfold. In 1673, the replacement of the Compagnie des Indes Occidentales by the Senegalese company led to a multiplication by 4.5 in the 14 years that followed. Good condition. Height 12 cm, weight 2 kg.
