An example of sewn embroidery (158d) has been recorded on a coiled Zulubasket, on which an arrowhead shape had been sewn, each stitch being takenover five coils. Most rarely recorded of all is embroidery with the same or similar materialto that of the fabric; this has been seen on a Himba basket and a Mpukushumat. Carved or branded Where baskets have a wooden band or rim, there is opportunity for carved(159, Fig. 91 A) or branded (160, Fig. 91B) ornamentation, but so far this hasonly been recorded from among the Hlengwe and the Ndau of Zimbabwe.
