Iklwa

[The Double D]

A couple of weeks ago while out shooting model cannons I met a guy who said had he has some spears he would sell me.

I went up and visited him and sure enough he had a bunch of spears, most large bladed spears that surely must be iklwa's. I settled on one. It is the long bladed one in these pictures. There were two others that interested me.





Later my friend wanted a spear so I took him over to look at spears. My wife went along and she decided she need some knobkerrie's. So she got those and I went home empty handed. See post on Tsonga Club for her knobkerries.

Later, after a visit to the ATM I went back over and got three more Iklwa's




The top three in the blades pictures and the bottom ones in the spears picture came from this last visit.

Over the next couple of days I will take some close-up and tell you the "story" given for the one spear.

The tiles in the spears picture are 13 inches/330 mm wide
