Zulu wire work

[colin henshaw]

I've tended to think of this type of wirework being late 19th/early 20th century, with the increased availability of European-made brass, copper & iron wire. Although African blacksmiths/artisans had mastered wire-drawing and could make quite fine wire. I have also seen this type of work done on modern productions from Southern Africa. (But your spears shown are old ones).
