TUAREG WOOD LEATHER FOOD POST WITH BOWL #Alobalo African Tribal Art MALI
Type of object: Food post Material: Wood. Leather Ethnic Group: Tuareg Country of origin: Mali Di mensions: Post(heigth: 56" or 1 42 cm) Bowl circumference(38.5" or 98 cm) This is a Food Wood Post with a wooden bowl. The item is old. Post and bowl have been hand carved. High quality tribal object from the North of Mali. Milk and other food were served in the bowl and put on the post in the house or in the compound. The body of the bowl is nice decorated with a linear design. The post is decorated in concentric lines. Leather is combined with wood to give a certain hardness to the picket. About Tuareg: The Tuareg are a tribal people of the Sahara numbering today more than 300.000. They speak a Berber language, Tamarshak, and have their own alphabet. In ancient times, the Tuareg controlled the trans-Sahara caravan routes, taxing the ... moregoods they helped to convey and raiding neighboring tribes. In modern times, their raiding was subdued by the French who ruled Algeria. The political division of Saharan Africa since the 1960s has made it increasingly difficult for the Tuareg to maintain their pastoral traditions. Tuareg society distinguishes among nobles. Vassals, and serfs. Slave-stealing expeditions have been abolished, but the black descendants of former slaves still perform the menial tasks. Social status is determined through matrilineal descent. Converted by the Arabs to Islam, the Tuareg have retained some of their older rites. Among the Tuareg, for example, men- not women- wear a headdress with a veil. Many Tuareg starved in droughts in the 1970s. And others have migrated to cities. After leather, wood is perhaps the most important material in Saharan daily life, and is used for the poles and beams of the nomads’ tents on which are hung bags, saddles, bows and whips, as well as bed frames, dishes, cups, milking bowls, spoons, mortars and pestles. Among the Tuareg elegantly sculpted cushion supports( ehel) are important items in any well-appointed household. They were carved by members of the gu

Title, Tuareg Leather Camel Horse Saddle Blanket Bag African, Materials, leather. Forged iron, Made In, Niger. Mali, Traded In, West Africa, Approximate Age, second half 20th century Dimensions, 13 inches x 25 inches; 49 inches total Length, Overall Condition, Fair to good. Damage/Repair, worn leather, Type of Object, Horse Bridle, Additional Information: A wonderful camel or horse leather Saddle blanket and bag made of leather decorated with bright colors and motifs that recall Tuareg ornaments. Much Tuareg art is in the form of jewelry. Leather and metal bridle and bag/saddle decorations(like this one) and finely crafted swords, all of which are richly covered in an assortment of traditional and repetitive geometrical symbols. The Tuareg transfer a blend of Islamic, Christian and African animalism ideologies into talismanic motifs, which ... moreare supposed to protect the nomads through the tribulations of desert life. All of the fine arts of the Tuareg are created by a special caste of workers, who originally were slaves, whose works were recorded by the Greeks in Biblical times. This caste gradually gained status through their skill over the centuries, to the point where they are now considered to use magic in their craft and are among the most respected and revered members of society. Men alone are allowed to handle and shape silver, and work as blacksmiths, but the women of the caste are often responsible for the exquisite leatherwork. The Tuareg are a nomadic people of Niger and surrounding countries. They are tall. And a Tuareg woman can pack an entire household on a camel in two hours. Their skin is blue-black, from the indigo rubbed into cloths wrapped around their faces to keep out the desert sun and sand. Tuareg crosses were originally worn by men, and passed down from father to son with the words, My son, I give you the four corners of the world because one cannot know where one will die. The crosses are considered strong talismans, protection, power and fertility symbols for both men and women. The

Vintage N. African Mali Tuareg Brown Leather Covered Iron Dagger Scabbard XLNT
This dagger and leather scabbard were purchased in Nairobi. Kenya in the mid 1980s at a museum shop that displayed many types of North African weapons and specialized in daggers and knives known to come from various tribes throughout that area. This one was described as belonging to the Tuareg tribe of nomadic people that roam about Saharan Africa. Primarily in the areas of Mali, Algeria and Niger. We cannot attest to its authenticity as having actually been used in combat but it is a great item to display and brings lots of interest and comments. The dagger itself is made of rough iron and is sharpened to a very fine point. The blade has different designs cut into each side. The scabbard/holder is made of wood and overlaid with artistically detailed leather with intricate designs etched into it. See photos) The overall length is 17" ... moreand the blade is 8 3/8" tip to hilt. The blade is 1 1/8" wide at the hilt. The handle is 6 1/2" long.

Tuareg is a term used to identify numerous diverse groups of people who share a common language and a common history. Tuareg camel caravans played the primary role in trans-Saharan trade until the mid-20th century when European trains and trucks took over.

Tuareg history begins in northern Africa where their presence was recorded by Herodotus. Many groups have slowly moved southward over the last 2.000 years in response to pressures from the north and the promise of a more prosperous land in the south. Today, many Tuareg live in sedentary communities in the cities bordering the Sahara that once were the great centers of trade for western Africa.

TUAREG, AFRICAN BRAIDED BAG, CAMEL BAG, LEATHER BAG, SHELL BAG, ANTIQUE BAG
I don't know what or who made this bag. I have had this appraised by several appraisers and the majority have said it was from west Africa and possible sub-saharan origin. Another one said he thought it may be Native American. It is made from a thin leather with the strips cut approximately 1/32 to 1/16 inch wide. I don't believe the leather is deer but believe it may be a smaller animal such as raccoon or rabbit since the leather is thin. The bag itself is woven with cowry shells and abalone tied into strips across the entire front. The leather is becoming somewhat brittle and some of the beads/shells are missing as is the strap on the right side. The bag measures 17 inches tall and 13 inches wide. The bag is extremely well made and must have taken a considerable amount of time. Patience and expertise to produce.
