Hi David,

This is a difficult area to be certain as the same weapons and technology is used by many people that live in the South East tip of African. I have always thought that the real good Zulu artifacts do not usually come with the brass wire decoration but that could just be one of those collector opinions. A good book to get is quite cheap and from amazon- Art of South East Africa. having said that I do have things that I believe are Zulu and they do not have brass wire on them.
