Up from a recent estate in Honolulu Hawaii this African Zulu knobkerrie wooden club (name given to their clubs). The exceptional size of the ball tells that it was used by a henchman who followed the Induna (Zulu chief) around the village and with it met out punishment as ordered by the Induna. It was also used in war. From the looks of the piece it is probably from around 1850 to 1890. This club is much more rare than the average knobkerrie. The condition is described above for more information please check the photos.
