Hi Liitlehand, Examining the detail of this scrimshaw artwork definitely suggets to me that the artist was not Zulu. Having spent a number of years living in Zululand and being quite close to the "people from heaven" I think that this was the work of a British sailor. Fascinating stuff however. barry
