Imperial Productions No.31 uMbonambi Zulu Regiment, 1879 (Just Two Figures from Original set)
Glossy Finish
Imperial Productions figures are made of metal and produced in New Zealand.
Formed
between 1820 and 1827, and by the outbreak of the 1879 Zulu War, these
warriors were considered mostly older veterans being well into their
fifties.
The uMbonambi carried a black shield of a ‘junior’ colour – retained
throughout the regiment’s history. They wore feathers of the crested
lourie, and around their necks a circlet of charms to denote their
having killed many times in battle.
The regiment fought in the battles of Isandhlwana, Kambula, and Gingindlovu.
