EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Zulu assegai or spear from 1879, crafted by the South African School in the 19th century. Currently housed at the National Army Museum in London, this historical artifact provides a glimpse into Zulu weaponry during that era. The Zulu assegais were available in two distinct forms: a slender-bladed throwing spear and a wider-bladed stabbing spear. This particular example is known as the "A iklwa" named after the distinctive sound it made upon withdrawal from an opponent's body. Its design and craftsmanship reflect both functionality and cultural significance. As we delve into its rich history, we uncover its role on battlefields where warriors wielded these spears with great skill and precision. The topography of those times comes alive through this image, transporting us to an era when people relied on such weapons for survival. This remarkable photograph captures not only the beauty of this metal weapon but also offers insights into society, culture, and warfare during that period. It serves as a reminder of our shared human heritage while honoring the bravery and ingenuity of past generations.
