It is hitched to oxen toconvey produce from the fields or to transport any heavy material. Strong wooden stakesare planted in a heavy forked wooden base to serve as warps. The walls are completedwith pliable wooden wefts and the base filled in with a wicker floor, or latterly withwooden planks (see no. 1 in Materials below). A variety (see no. 2 in Materials below) inwhich the walls consisted of coiled sewn maize stalks was seen among the Thembu near. Figure 32 -3* isileyi, sledge. A. {left) Xesibe, Mount Ayliff, 1969.
