Shield (1) Zulu - South Africa - 2000-2010

Traditional South African Zulu shields trace back to King Shaka Zulu and have been used by tribes in battle for hundreds of years. The modern world has evolved, just as the Zulu tribes have. These shields are no longer used in combat, but rather for traditional Zulu ceremonies such as weddings, to tell ancestral historical stories. These bold black-and-white carved wooden motifs continue to have a striking modern form when displayed in groups. Each may vary slightly due to unique hand-carvings. Supplied with a hanger attached to the back for wall mounting.
