A Zulu warrior with shield in hand

An unusual style of Zulu art that has been sketched onto a wooden backboard. The Zulu artist that handcrafted this African picture has taken a piece of Masonite wooden board and burnt the front canvas so to give the artist a black surface to work with. The Zulu artist then engraves the Zulu warrior image onto the wood and removes the front layer of the burnt wood to reveal the clear light brown wood underneath.

This style of art has become unique to a small group of Zulu's. This beautiful Zulu carving shows a traditional Zulu warrior chief with a shield and Zulu spear (known as the Assegai in South Africa) in one hand and a Knob-Kerrie ( a traditional attacking club with a ball like head) in the other hand. The Zulu warrior is also wearing his traditional legging and clothing. This is a typical look of the Zulu and the artist had used exceptional skill to hand engrave the details into the wood.

There are many designs to choose from a placing a few of these next to each other on a wall make for an excellent African home decor wall hanging. You will be amazed at the workmanship of the artist when you see the Zulu pictures in person.

The Zulu artist that crafted these wall hanging is T.M. Msomi
