Originally, Zulu pots were mostly decorated by attaching little lumps called amasumpa, to stop the pot from slipping, but today intricate designs are to be found, ranging from leaves, and animals, to complicated geometric patterns.
The pots are formed by building up clay coils and smoothing them down with any found items such as the back of a spoon or a water-worn rock
