Old tuareg leather bag
Niger
Width: 50 cm
Height: 66 cm
A great old Tuareg leather bag from Niger. Goatskin, cotton and pigments. Tuareg women are in charge of leatherworking. They soak the skins and remove the hair to then tan them with natural tannins and soften them with oil or butter. The colourful decoration uses natural dyes. This sample features a lovely ornamentation that combines painted, embroidered and incised decoration. A superb piece, tribal, authentic and very decorative.
