MISCELLANEOUS 1. Basin Thembu The use of a calabash vessel as a basin was found among the Thembu, Engcobo, 1969. When a Thembu woman had given birth to a baby, she used a calabash basin to wash the baby and herself. This basin was destroyed when they came out of seclusion. Bomvana Similar information was recorded by Holt (1969: 79) among the Bomvana. According to his observations, the large calabash basin was mainly used to wash newly-born twins. The large calabash, iselwa, was filled with warm water. This calabash was, however, preserved even after the twins had grown up, as they would return from time to time to wash themselves Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original South African Museum.
