Zulu Knobkierrie Club
About the Item
Knobkierrie were an indispensable weapon of war and hunt, particularly among southern Nguni tribes such as the Zulu. The name derives from the Afrikaans word knop, meaning knot or ball, and the word kierie, meaning cane or walking stick. The knob is carved from the main body of a tree and the shaft from a branch that protruded from the tree at that point.
