The basket in the image is a Zulu Isiquabetho basket, a traditional handwoven craft from the Zulu people of South Africa. These baskets, made from Ilala palm fibers, are known for their intricate geometric designs and symbolic patterns, often inspired by Zulu beadwork. 16" RoundsTraditional Use:Isiquabetho baskets were originally used for gathering and carrying grains. Smaller bowls serve dry foods like beans, fruits, or nuts. Craftsmanship:Skilled Zulu artisans weave these baskets by hand, often at home, integrating the craft into their daily routines. Cultural Significance:These baskets embody the rich cultural heritage of the Zulu people, showcasing their mastery of craftsmanship and their ability to turn tradition into a sustainable livelihood. Contemporary Use:While traditionally functional, Isiquabetho baskets have adapted to modern uses, becoming both practical and decorative items. Design and Materials:The baskets are made using traditional techniques and locally sourced Ilala palm fibers. The geometric and symbolic designs are inspired by Zulu beadwork and tell stories of tradition and belief. Time to Create:It can take up to a month for an artisan to complete a basket.
