Image description

The portrait depicts Mpande, the Zulu king, seated regally in front of his kraal, surrounded by his warriors. Mpande, brother to the infamous Shaka and Dingaan, has a tumultuous history marked by bloody conquests and clashes with Dutch Boers. Despite his once-formidable power, Mpande's authority has waned due to conflicts and desertions. The scene captures a ceremonial ox slaughter, symbolizing hospitality. Each detail, from the shield-bearer to the snuff-box bearer, offers insights into Zulu customs. Anecdotes reveal the cunning tactics employed by Zulu leaders, shedding light on the intricate dynamics of power and betrayal within the kingdom.
