Zulu Axe Stabbing weapon

[hog]

Looks like a Zulu item, this pic of my shield and spear show the battle axe , this one is Swazi, given to me when I was about 5 yrs old by the local Chief of the area.

These are really lovely items - and to get them as a gift is fantastic! Are they period items or 20th century?

These date back to 1965 or there abouts, but to be honest they looked the same in 1865.

An interesting collection you are building

Never learned much about the zulu other then in ap european history class but some very interesting items and ideas !!

Here's something else from my collection - a Zulu chiefs Knobkerrie. Note the five sections of woven copper wire. My contact in SA said it was 'For somebody of importance, or somebody who thought they were important.'

Nice piece indeed, could be for someone in an elevated position.

Nicely "concealed" on the back of a door ... (Or has the Miss's found these , and this is the "concession" cupboard ?)
