ZOULOU, South Africa. Dance or combat shield in the shape of a stylized leaf. The surface is decorated with linear incisions made in the skin, allowing the insertion of leather straps and forming a rhythmic, graphic composition. Animal hide, wood, leather straps, wear marks. Characteristic of Zulu tradition, this type of shield combines a symbolic function with a strong visual identity. It is used in collective performances and martial demonstrations, where the geometry of the decoration and the contrast of materials reinforce the wearer's visual impact.
