Antique African Zulu Warrior’s Assegai spear. With distinctive leaf-shaped blade with fine patina. The blade exhibits a distinctive rib to its full length. The blade is attached to a hardwood shaft and is bound with cordwire. These short throwing or stabbing spears were also known as an Iklwa within the Zulu nation and proved a fearsome weapon in the hands of a Zulu warrior, most notably during the late-19th Century Zulu Wars against the British Army.
Flared terminal to the spear shaft
The wooden shaft of the spear has a flared terminal. The overall condition of the spear is very good – the blade has been cleaned but does show signs of wear and generally good age. Total length of the spear is 46 inches. This assegai would make a great display piece especially when combined with a Zulu shield or knobkerrie.
