Transcription [Steven Kotze for FHYA, 2025, using Talana Museum Accession card: "Oval shape head with handle eight inches in length with a straight lower cutting edge some 7"-8" wide. The blade tapers towards the tang at the upper end. The tang about 9" long was thrust through a hole made in the knobley end of a stout stick about two feet long. One such iron hoe cost one cow. May have been imported from Tembe hawkers (as smiths) or made by Zulu smiths from native iron."]
