These posts have been vetted as authentic.
The Tuareg are fiercely independent nomadic people. On the move with their herds and camels over vast areas of the southern Sahara, they produce no masks or figures but instead create an impressive world of traditional, abstract, beautiful, functional objects of leather, wood and metal.
Wood was carved into posts of many inventive forms, all intricately covered with geometric designs. Forked tigettewin posts were used in various ways in each Tuareg family's tent, holding leather bags or supporting one end of a wooden rod which in turn held saddle and camel bags.
Although the wood is extremely hard, some of the tigettewin posts have eroded ends, splits or cracks. We have photographed them to show the small flaws in the details.
