The question is often asked 'what is Zulu art?'. Zulu art was for many years overlooked as the Zulu people did not make art in the form of sculptures and paintings. Rather, the art was seen in the embellishment of utensils used in the home such as carved wooden meatplatters, milkpails, spoons, walking sticks and headrests.
Artifacts
Artifacts include mostly shields and weapons, and these things are still made currently.
