This is a wonderful Vintage Zulu Woven Sisal Impontshi or Spoon Holder from South Africa. Each spoon is used by a specific person, and women make an impontshi/ spoonholder, densely woven from grass to house the spoon when not in use. These pouches are rectangular in shape. They are decorated using a variety of treatments: woven grasses or geometric dyed grass designs, cotton or nylon thread wound around the grass stalks to create the design, or encrusted with glass beads in the colors and designs pertinent to the clan or region. Loops were attached to the side of the imponshi and the spoonholder hung neatly on the interior walls when not in use. This very unique spoon holder will be a great addition to your home or collection.
Shows age, overall in good condition.
