Each carries a large, dried calabash gourd used for transporting water. 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. These gourds, or 'amakhukho', were essential domestic tools, often meticulously prepared and passed down through generations for water and traditional brewing.\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\n\u003cp\u003eThis postcard would look great framed or make an excellent addition to any collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLove it ♡\u003cbr\u003eGet it ☆\u003cbr\u003eGet Lucky 💋 Vintage\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Get Lucky Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46761382510781,"sku":"3450","price":12.0,"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\/3450","provider":"Get Lucky Vintage ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
