A Small African Hand Carved Spear and Knob-Kerrie Set

Height: 38 cm

A small ornamental African Zulu beaded spear and knob- Kerrie. These two African weapons are used by the traditional Zulu tribesmen when attacking their opponent and are commonly seem attached to the Zulu shield along with a center shaft.

This Spear and knob-Kerrie set stands at just under 40 cm tall and has wonderful Zulu bead work along the shaft of both the spear and the knob-Kerrie.

These tools were used by Zulu tribesmen as an attacking tool to hit their enemy on the head with a Zulu shield in one hand to protect themselves and the knob-Kerrie in the other while charging forward. The spear would be thrown just before attack and then charge with the Knob-Kerrie.

This is a smaller version of the full spear and knob-Kerrie which you can view in our weapons gallery at www.africancraftsmarket.com/Africanweapons.htm

All sizes listed are approximate. The Zulu Knob-Kerrie you purchase and receive may differ just slightly in size, look, and/or color from the Zulu Knob-Kerrie shown in the picture because each Zulu Knob-Kerrie is handcrafted and hand beaded by individual artists
