In traditional Zulu baskets, diamonds represent the female and zig-zags represent males.
Small traditional Zulu herb containers are used to hold culinary and medicinal herbs. Baskets made for holding herbs have a looser weave to allow the herbs to dry, while those made to hold fluids have a tighter weave.
The Zulus are the largest tribe in South Africa, renowned for their basketry, artistry and craftsmanship. Many women make beautiful baskets using traditional art forms in order to supplement their incomes.
