Colorful plastic-coated copper telephone wire is hand woven by South African Zulu weavers into beautiful lamp shade finials and baskets. They adapted traditional grass weaving techniques to create the intricate, swirling designs. Their attention to detail is evident in the bold patterns. Purchasing these products enables the many telephone wire artisans in rural Africa to support themselves and their families. More Zulu wire baskets can be found in Museum Store Christmas and Displaying Large Collections.
