Compare L. Decle, Three Years in Savage Africa (London, 1898), p. 445 note:  “Before horses had been introduced into Uganda the king and his mother never walked, but always went about perched astride the shoulders of a slave—­a most ludicrous sight.  In this way they often travelled hundreds of miles.”  The use both of horses and of chariots by royal personages may often have been intended to prevent their sacred feet from touching the ground.
