Notes
Jabu Nala comes from a line of female ceramicists that can be traced back to 1900. Jabu's work is represented in both national and international private and public collections.
The uphiso is a medium to large round-bodied pot that usually has a cylindrical neck which stops liquid from spilling when the pot is being carried. The main purpose of this pot is to transport water or beer.
