Two of the pieces I am focusing on are from the same culture, and the other is from a different ethnic groups.…

Halsted was introduced to a young lady named Bonnie Ntshalintshali who could not work in the fields on the farm because of a deformity in her foot due to polio (Halsted, 2012:28). Her mother brought her to Halsted to teach her ceramics “Ntshalintshali, although illiterate and uneducated in terms of Western schooling, proved to be exceptionally talented and knowledgeable about Zulu customs and practices” according to Halsted-Berning (in Stevens & Munro, 2009:14). Her work was vibrant, capturing Catholic beliefs, South African fauna and flora and everyday life as a Zulu girl (Ambrogi & Thijs, 2008:16).
