Niger - Tuareg Bag
Tuareg BagTuareg Bag Back
The Tuareg nomads of the central Sahara, besides being notorious caravan pirates and slavers, are gifted craftspeople. As nomads the amount of material goods they own is obviously limited, but Tuaregs of all classes have always prized finely made leather saddle bags, jewelry and weapons of refined and sophisticated design. This is a very nice example of a Tuareg camel saddle bag. These bags are some of the finest Tuareg leatherwork. This older one is from the region of Agadez.
