The magnificent Lozi wooden pot is carved from durable dark wood by the Shona people. Each one is unique and the graphic carved designs are modern and traditional. These works represent a tradition that is fast diminishing as western influences make their way into traditional African regions.
Please note that many of our handmade items are one of a kind, perfectly imperfect, vintage and have indigenous decorative repair work which we believe adds to the intrinsic value and beauty of the items. No two items are exactly the same.

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.

Tonga stools are among hundreds of stools still being used in rural African villages. These particular stools are named after the Tonga people who originated in South Africa and overtime migrated north. Traditionally, only the head of the household could own and take his place on a Tonga stool.
These small stools with their sharp geometric designs have been carved by hand from a solid piece of wood. The Tonga people carve these stools with portability in mind, as they would take their own seating when attending weddings, funerals and ceremonies in neighbouring villages. Stack them, display them.
