Each carries a large, dried calabash gourd used for transporting water. These gourds, or 'amakhukho', were essential domestic tools passed down through generations. The image provides an intimate look at the intricate beadwork, copper bangles, and social status markers central to Zulu cultural identity in the early 20th century. The photograph was taken at or near Mariannhill, a significant mission station and monastery complex established in 1882 in the Natal colony. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEra: Divided Back (Circa 1905–1915)\u003cbr\u003eCity: Mariannhill (near Pinetown\/Durban)\u003cbr\u003eState or Region: KwaZulu-Natal \/ Zululand\u003cbr\u003eCountry: South Africa\u003cbr\u003eTopic: Zulu People, Ethnographic Photography, Mariannhill Mission, Traditional Beadwork, African History\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Uncirculated\u003cbr\u003ePostage: None\u003cbr\u003eAddress Side: divided back\u003cbr\u003eOrientation: Vertical (Portrait)\u003cbr\u003eArtist \/ Photographer: Unknown (attributed to Mariannhill Mission photographers)\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Mariannhill Mission Press\u003cbr\u003ePrinter: Unknown\u003cbr\u003ePrint Type: Collotype\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mariannhill Mission Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46761382510781,"sku":"3450","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4818\/1181\/files\/3450.jpg?v=1778447351","url":"https:\/\/www.getluckyvintage.com\/products\/1910-zulu-women-ethnographic-south-africa-postcard","provider":"Get Lucky Vintage ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
