Twin Brothers made by Margaret Mazibuko, KwaZulu Natal  size 13 x 18 " It's finished on the back. The handwritten story that is attached to this piece reads:

 "This is Mthembi's twin brothers family. They are married and still share the same homestead but in different houses. Their wives like to dress the same way. One brother has a giraffe and the other has chickens."

This piece is heavily hand embroidered and has many beaded accents in the piece and around the edge. A most charming rural scene shwoing life in a Zulu kraal. Traditional Zulu women wear a wide brimmed red hat.

Here is a quote from one of the women in this group:

Margaret Mntambo : “I am looking after 5 orphans whose mothers died. Money from the embroidery assists me in paying for their transport costs to school. I like doing the embroidery because it keeps me busy and my mind active in making choices. I also like to mix with other people and get ideas.
