Some of the most interesting artifacts to have survived the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879 are engraved cattle horns depicting scenes from that war. Of these, five are in the Natal Museum in Pietermaritzburg and these form the basis of this paper. It as long been assumed that the cattle horns in the Natal Museum were the work of a Zulu artist attached in some way to the Imperial Forces. In his article, 'A glimpse of colonial life through Zulu eyes: Nineteenth century engraved cattle horns from Natal', (Natal Museum J. Humanities, Vol 2, pp 143-62, November 1990), Dr Tim Maggs states that the horns in question 'include some of the earliest known narrative representation work by Zulu artists who thus give us a glimpse of the alien and dominant colonial way of life.'
