"Found in a charity shop in southern England. Appears to be made of (deer?) skin. The three tools slide out, the longest one has more skin wrapped around one end, the other two are roughly the same size, one looks like a beater (possibly for an instrument?) and the other has a sharp metal head. WITT?"
A: "It’s a miniature Zulu shield and spear. Why it’s small, no idea."

#15 is a souvenir Zulu battle regalia. The spear is an assegai, the wooden stick a knobkierie and the shield a Nguni shield. Though it is mostly ceremonial these days. It was mostly used during the time of Shaka Zulu.

Hannah, A shaving scuttle is a double walled, ceramic bowl used to keep soap lather warm and ready for multiple passes. It is used by filling the bottom bowl with hot water and building a thick soap/cream lather in the upper bowl.
