Knobkierie, also spelled knobkerrie, knopkierie or knobkerry, are clubs used mainly in Southern and Eastern Africa. Typically they have a large knob at one end and can be used for throwing at animals in hunting or for clubbing an enemy's head. The knobkierie is carved from a branch thick enough for the knob, with the rest being whittled down to create the shaft. This heavy club measures 25 ½” in length. The club is made from a hard wood and is in excellent condition, free of damage. At the end of the shaft there is a hole through which is a knotted rope hand loop. The knob is 3”" in diameter and has contemporary crude hand carving ‘Boers 1899-00’ (It was common practice for Soldiers of both sides to bring home Ethnic African items as war trophies). The price includes UK delivery. Sn 11995
