The Zulu (amaZulu) people developed a highly skilled basketry tradition using local grasses and ilala palm. These pieces were originally everyday working objects—especially for carrying or winnowing grain—before they became collected as artisan décor. Some weaves are tight enough to be water tight. Traditional colors come from natural dyes made by boiling roots, leaves, berries, and bark. Geometric patterns often carry meaning (triangles associated with masculine, diamonds with feminine, and combined shapes indicating marital status). Weaving skills are typically passed from grandmother to granddaughter. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amsha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50530991177903,"sku":"T-PMD","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/0113\/2719\/files\/handwoven-african-zulu-trivet-back-natural-star-971.webp?v=1790303300","url":"https:\/\/rookeryhome.com\/products\/handwoven-african-zulu-trivet-back-natural-star","provider":"Rookery Home","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
