Title	Meat serving tray
Subject	Zulu (African people) Zulu (African people) -- Social life and customs Trays Implements, utensils, etc. Food habits Manners and customs
Description	The Zulu serving trays, or izingqoko, are used to carry meat portions that are cut during a ceremonial slaughter and then used to serve family members within a homestead. The women hang the serving trays on a fence so only the bottom would be showing. The underside of the tray is the only decorative part, which helps the person slaying the animal to identify each family. The cuts of meat are then served to each family from the family's own tray, according to their status within the homestead. The short legs are to keep the tray from actually sitting on the floor.
