Hi Lew,
Would this still be considered a club with a head that small, or is it more of a staff? I'm used to seeing them similar in shape/size to the one that I have in the pics for comparison.

Thanks,
Joe

Your knobkerrie is a status piece it was not meant to be used as a war club. Probably belonged to a higher ranking person in the tribe.

Default WIRE WRAPPED ZULU IKLWA

This is from my collection , picked it up at the big military show in Ciney Belgium 10 years ago. Assume it must have belonged to an eminent tribal member as like your club it is almost entirely wire wrapped.
