TUAREG Veil Weights, Niger
Famous for their jewelry, the Tuareg employ the same elaborate aesthetic
when fashioning their inventive veil weights which are used by women to
hold their headcloths in place. These assrou n' swoul , which resemble
the large decorative keys of camel bag locks, are forged from geometric
layers of silver, brass and copper.
The backs are smooth and plain.
