Product description

A stunning example of traditional Zulu basketry, this large egg-shaped ukhamba is masterfully hand-woven by skilled artisans in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Crafted from natural ilala palm fronds, the basket features an intricate diamond lattice pattern in earthy tones of terracotta red, warm amber, charcoal, and natural cream — each colour derived from plant-based dyes. The tight coil-weave construction and fitted pointed lid make it both a functional vessel and a collector's art piece. No two baskets are identical, ensuring you receive a truly one-of-a-kind heirloom.
