Basket, plant materials, Eshowe, KwaZulu-Natal, 1978

Basket (ukhamba) made in 1977 by Greta Hlabisa, a member of the Vukani Association. Vukani was started in 1972 in Eshowe as an initiative by a local missionary for the economic and cultural upliftment of the local population through the production and sale of Zulu craftwork. Skilled women basket-makers produce mainly coiled and sewn baskets in both traditional and new designs.

Bought from the Vukani Association.
