The Art of the Zulu Basket

This traditional art form is an important way for Zulu women to make a living, or to supplement their incomes. Working at home, they can combine basket making into their normal routine of raising their children and daily chores.

Each Zulu basket is woven by hand, using indigenous raw materials. All the dye colours are natural. It can take up to a month to make a medium sized basket, that will be unique in size, shape, pattern and colour.

Baskets with lids such as these are known locally as 'uKhamba'.
