These delicate handcrafted South African pots have been hand coiled from clay, burnished and fired in an open pit in the veld. In the Zulu tradition, these pots are often used for brewing, cooking meat, storing water, grain and for drinking sour milk and brewing sorghum beer. Unique patterns of raised bumps known as amasumpa are commonly used as a decorative technique. The Zulu clay pots have moved from traditional usage to becoming handcrafted collectibles.

Handcrafted from authentic West African mud cloth (or bogolan) , our pillow cover reflects the centuries-old art of mud dyeing cotton and embellishing it with distinctive tribal patterns. In a time-intensive process, local artisans bathe the cotton in natural dyes made from tree leaves and dry it in the sun, then hand paint traditional geometric motifs using fermented river mud. Rich in meaning, the geometric markings often tell a story about the maker or local history. Woven and dyed by hand, each pillow cover is uniquely one of a kind.
