Handwoven in the Kwazulu region of Southern Africa, Intricately handwoven by Zulu Craftsmen and women, these urban versions of the grass and palm bowls originally made ”back home” were started by Zulu men working on the mines, where they discovered off cuts of plastic covered telephone wire in a myriad of bright colors.
Ideally suited to weaving, being fine and flexible, the bowls are worked with great precision into intricate and colorful patterns. The Zulu Telephone Wire work has gained international fame and has become very collectable. Today, they are used for both decorative and practical purposes.
