Zulu people, South Africa

The unusual spiral weave on this cotton Isicholo makes this a beautiful and rare example of the hats worn during special ceremonies by married Zulu women. It can easily be hung on the wall as is, or it can be mounted on a stand. There are a few broken strings on the right edge – please see photo.
