Made of ilala palm by Ilala Weavers of South Africa, these baskets in natural colors are a great accent to any decor.
Today, Ilala Weavers helps over 2000 Zulu people, both men and women, to attain self sufficiency, by working from their homes and therefore retaining their lifestyle and rich heritage of basket weaving and bead work, which has been passed down through the generations by Zulucrafters, whose modern counterparts today produce stunning works of art, sought after the world over.
Pictured here are the Zulu "Ukhamba" beer baskets. The largest one is about 14" high, 10" acrossed at the widest part near the bottom. The others reflect a sample of the regular Zulu beer baskets.. ranging in sizes of 8" to 10" tall.
