"Rare Zulu Club with A Star-shaped Head – Antique Hardwood (circa 1900–1940)" An exceptional traditional Zulu club (knobkierie or iwisa), carved from a single block of African hardwood (Ziziphus mucronata – “buffalo thorn”). This rare piece features a carefully carved and polished four-lobed star-shaped head, distinct from the more common spherical model. The handle is partially wrapped in old black leather. It displays a beautiful patina of use, with small natural cracks in the wood attesting to its age. This object is both symbolic and functional, used as a ceremonial weapon or prestige staff. Origin: South Africa (KwaZulu-Natal or Eswatini region) Period: circa 1900–1940 Dimensions: length 80 cm Condition: very good original condition, unrestored. See less
