Authentic Zulu Craftsmanship

Zulu wire weaving is a celebrated South African craft that transforms everyday materials into works of art. The detailed symmetry and vibrant patterning reflect cultural storytelling traditions, with each design uniquely interpreted by the artisan. No two bowls are exactly alike, making this a one-of-a-kind piece.

For hardwire Zulu bowls, artisans originally used discarded telephone wire, but today several alternative wires are commonly used due to availability and durability.
