Solan Manxele has woven this beautiful Ilala palm basket (Ukhamba). Working from her home where she can weave basket making into her daily routine of raising her children, working in the fields, collecting water and other daily chores. After the Ilala palm has been collected it has to be dyed. In this case the main body of the basket is brown and this colour will have been obtained using the roots of a tree to dye the palm. The burgundy colour will have come from using the bark of the Maryland tree as a dye. #zulubaskets #ilalapalmbaskets #beerbaskets #handwoven #fairtradebaskets #wovenbywomen #zulu #ceremonialbaskets #naturaldyes #ethical #sustainableliving #africanstyle #africanhome #injabulobaskets #injabulo1 #gratitude

Featuring today a beer basket (Ukhamba) created by Solan Manxele. She will have woven this lovely Ilala palm basket in her home where she can weave basket making into her daily routine. This could involve working in the fields, carrying water, raising her children and other daily tasks. Ilala palm is naturally a creamy colour so it has to be dyed using natural dyes to achieve the colour variants.The main body of this basket has been woven in brown Ilala palm which will have been dyed using the roots of a tree. The burgundy colour will have been obtained from the bark of the Marula tree. All patterns in this basket have a meaning. In this case the diamonds suggest femininity. These beautiful baskets originate from a centuries old culture.

Showcasing two more beautiful Zulu baskets that have just been added to the site. Both stand approximately 36cms tall and are well woven baskets showcasing different colours and patterns and the individual skill of the weavers. Traditionally used to store beer in a Zulu home but telling its own story through the pattern. All woven baskets are utility items in a Zulu homestead - these too can be used to store all sorts but to us they are just a joy to behold and wonder at the skill of the weaver and the story they are telling. #zulubaskets #beerbaskets #ceremonialbaskets #africanbaskets #wovenbaskets #fairtradebaskets #southafricanbaskets #zuluculture #tribalart #basketcollection #basketsfromafrica #naturaldyes #weavingstories #injabulobaskets #injabulo1 #gratitude
