Click Thumbnails for Larger Images AFTER Page FULLY Loads
The Shangaan exchanged beaded baskets at weddings. This example has a very old applied leather base.
The base was called Xithabana.

Sometime one family would make the lid and the other family the base, as gifts for the bride and groom. The lid is called Xitewana. Examples like these have become nearly impossible to obtain.

Mbunda Basket - Barotse Plane
This is a tiny personal basket or container called katumbwa, used to store magic hunting potions by the Lucahazi, Mbunda and Luvale peoples living in Western Zambia, in and around the Barotse Plane. These are made from mukenge root, carved into cord and soaked for a month or more before weaving. Using hard wooden root ensures a longer life for articles made. We know that there are those who will disagree that these are Lozi or Barotse, but best close your ears.
