Bronze headrest representing one of the four Zulu regiments deployed in the battle of Isandlwana, Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa

---

Unique bronze headrest representing one of the four Zulu regiments deployed in the battle. These headrests, with their obvious connotation of rest, reinforce the theme of the cessation of violence. As symbols of the departed warriors and of contemplation, sleep and the dreamworld, the headrests honour the ancestors who play an important role in Zulu culture.
