African Hand Crafted Zebra Hide Zulu Shield with Leather Lashing

About the Item

An original Zulu Shield made of Zebra Hide and lashed with woven leather. The inside back is made of wood, and handle portion was cured, covered and painted red - there are some condition issues with the handle side, however the handle works well and is stable with no structural issues. So, rest assured, you can fight many warriors with this shield. We, however, think the piece makes a wonderful decorative piece for those spaces that want a bit of texture and "Out of Africa" / Ralph Lauren Style Appeal. A compliment to any room with the Tribal or Ralph Lauren look and easily hung on the wall or staged next to a larger piece of furniture.
