Isagweba: [Scepter]

This is Isagweba [Scepter]. it is made of Ugqonci (Oakwood), silver and incorporating leather strips. Isagweba is created to inspire the new with something of the old. Isagweba is given to the young man after the umgidi the coming of age ceremony. This is the tool given to the young man at the milestone (Ikrwala). This innovation ventures to celebrate and serve as an educational tool (see figure 1) for the young men of the Xhosa speaking people. I will be writing and drawing the messages on the silver plates that are incorporated in the leather and wood( see figure 2)  of which the final product will have written bling effect on the silver plates.
