    Zulu Basket by
    My Africa

    This intricate blanket has been inspired by the traditional craft of Zulu basket weaving. This art has been passed down for generations. Woven from the dyed leaves of the ilala palm, these baskets are made for special occasions, such as weddings, a child birth, or a good harvest. Each basket is woven by hand and it can take up to one month to produce a medium size basket. The geometric designs carry deep symbolism; for instance, if the triangle’s tip is pointing up it means that the woman is unmarried. Married women place two triangles together in a form of a diamond, representing fertility.
