SFA032 - Zulu Assegai Raised
The SFA032 - Zulu Assegai Raised portrays a Zulu warrior in the heat of battle, raising his assegai as he prepares to attack.
The assegai, particularly the short stabbing spear known as the iklwa, became closely associated with the Zulu military system. Introduced during the reforms of King Shaka Zulu, this weapon was designed for close combat and reflected the aggressive tactics that made Zulu regiments such as the uThulwana, iNgobamakhosi and uDloko feared opponents.
During the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879, Zulu forces demonstrated remarkable battlefield organisation and courage, achieving a stunning victory over British forces at the Battle of Isandlwana before later facing the full strength of the British Army at battles such as Ulundi.
This dramatic figure captures the energy of the Zulu charge and makes an eye-catching addition to any display featuring the warriors of the Zulu Kingdom.
A powerful piece for collectors interested in African military history and one of the most famous conflicts of the Victorian era.
