About This Item

This African shield is a miniature replica of the traditional Zulu shield used by the Zulu warriors from KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

The Zulu warrior chief Shaka’s early 19th-century campaign to expand the Zulu nation, known as the mfecane, led to large-scale migrations that expanded from what is now Tanzania to Cape Province.

    Collected the travelbug aboutr three hours after it was placed. As this is a Zulu shield, we will keep it for about 4 weeks with us, after which we will take it with us on holiday to the KZN coast and place it there in a cache to visit some of its roots.
