<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Caro Tinley, post: 3936372, member: 13773&quot;]To me it looks like an Ilala Palm basket from Zululand Nongoma or Hlabisa area.&nbsp; To me the design and colours are correct.&nbsp; Of course baskets are similar in many places round the world.&nbsp;&nbsp; These baskets when well and finely made were used for liquid, beer I believe. Taken from a website:&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Large, watertight baskets with lids that fit snugly inside the opening at the top are called Ukhambas. Isichumo baskets have&nbsp; a lid that fits over and around the opening. Smaller Iquthu lidded baskets, or “herb baskets”, often have a looser weave, and are traditionally used to store medicinal remedies.&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="https://i0.wp.com/basketsofafrica.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/zulu-ilala-palm-weavers-2.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
