Description
This finely crafted leather panel comes from the Tuareg people of the Sahara. Such panels were traditionally used to adorn camels, reflecting both practical function and decorative artistry. Carefully tooled and dyed leather designs display Tuareg geometric motifs, which are deeply rooted in their cultural identity and aesthetics.
Camel trappings like this were symbols of prestige, used in processions, ceremonies, and daily life, emphasizing the importance of the camel as both a means of survival and a mark of wealth. Today, they stand as striking examples of Tuareg leatherwork and nomadic artistry.
