Description
- Woven telephone wire 'story' basket - South Africa
- For centuries South Africa's Zulu people have been famous for the sturdy and beautiful basketsÂ
- Woven from grasses and palm leaf
- The weaving was so tight that the best ukhamba baskets were actually used to store beer
- Today these baskets are still woven in the countryside, but the Zulus living in urban area have invented a new kind of basket, the imbenge basket woven entirely of recycled telephone wire
- The baskets are as bright and colorful as the telephone wire, and very sturdy
- They are also completely washable
