Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:47082 | Primary Material: Wood |
| Product: Clubs | Original/ Repro: Original |
| Region of Origin: African |
Antique hardwood Zulu Knobkerrie War Club with wire banding and studded metal spikes.
Measures approx 28 2/16 inches long, and 3.5 inches in diameter at the head (inc spikes). Weighs approx 680 grammes.
This is an extremely unusual example in that it has studded metal spikes in the knob part. I cannot find any other ones like this on the internet. By looking at the wear and patina of the wood and metal it is obviously very old.
It is in overall good condition. So...me of the wire banding is loose. There are some age-related cracks in the wood, and it appears a few spikes may be missing.
Please see photos for visual appraisal of condition.
It will be well-packed in bubble-wrap and packed inside a sturdy postal tube. Will be posted by Royal Mail Special Delivery medium parcel in the U.K.
International post will be through Ebay's Global Shipping Programme.
Auction bidding only please - NO OFFERS.
Thanks for looking.
