SPECTACULAR UKHAMBA!
A truly fabulous hand-woven basket from
Zululand. It measures 51"H x 47" circumference, so needs a large space for it to be adequately displayed. A striking piece
of art from South Africa. It has similar colorings to another large basket featured further on this page, crafted by
the same weaver. It is obvious she has great artistic talent and with her play of color and design of her baskets, are definite
collector items.

offers accomodation, campsites, guided walking tours, Mt. Meru Crater climbing. The Park offers spectacular waterfalls and

This is a fine example of intricate Zulu
weaving of sustainable local ilala palm, into works of art. The photo does not do justice to this exceptionally large
Zulu basket. It is difficult to portray through photography just how large size of the basket The colors of
the palm dyed in tan, black and natural with a little lavender and oxblood are beautifully woven and is designed by a very
talented weaver. A spectacular piece of artwork. This piece takes up a lot of room and needs to be a focal point for a display.
You will be very pleased when you see this lovely basket. We guarantee the quality of our baskets.
It measures 20" h 42" circumference.
