Coming Soon

The first book ever on Swazi traditional artifacts is currently with the publishers & will be out by October 2008.

This will be a limited edition of 4000 books only.

The Swazi have not received the publicity of their southern neighbours for various reasons. This is despite the fact that the Swazi were also formidable warriors âe" they defeated the Zulu in 1839.

The Zulu and Swazi are both composed of northern Nguni clans and thus many similarities are found in their art. Unfortunately many unscrupulous art dealers pass off Swazi artifacts as being Zulu. Right now t is a spear with a hide sheath on Ebay that is advertised as Zulu âe" it is in fact Swazi!

This book will be a âe~must haveâe(tm) for all collectors of African artifacts especially Zulu collectors. The book will have 100 pages of A4 size and have numerous pictures. Previously unknown facts discovered over the past 20 years will be revealed about Swazi artifacts and their connections with related tribes.

Prices will be $20 each plus shipping.
