High Ranking Zulu Tribal Leaders Shield “Ihawu”, interesting example of the small type Zulu hide shield covered in brown and white fur. The shield is complete with its original staff which the top is carved with symbols, indicating distinction amongst a tribe. Mounted on the top of the staff is a piece of a continental pocket watch, this more than likely was taken from a battlefield from the dead body of a British soldier during the Anglo Zulu war. Small area of the staff missing and some small areas of fur loss but otherwise an interesting example. Shield measures 66 x 37cms, staff 125cms.
