The leather shield on display, belonging to the Zulus of South Africa, goes by the name of isihlangu in the local language. The importance of this type of defence weapon is directly proportional to that of its owner, as the figure of the warrior is very prestigious within Zulu society. The animal’s mantle, which determines the colour of the shield, is carefully chosen as it represents the group to which it will belong. Shields are often used in dances and propitiatory rites and form part of the groom’s ceremonial dress. Photograph evidence shows that they are also used to protect the entrance to homes, serving as a door.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10610,"template":"","sezione":[32],"class_list":["post-10630","punto_di_interesse","type-punto_di_interesse","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","sezione-antropologia"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nZulu shield -
