Vintage Tooled Leather Wooden Tuareg Rectangular Box from Niger, Africa
$159.00
Tuareg artisans, as a group, are among the most accomplished on the Continent. Their body of artistic expression is unsurpassed. These boxes, covered with intricately tooled leather in bas-relief designs follow that tradition. Although these boxes are made in a wide variety of sizes and shapes this one is unique because it is old and used and one of a kind, not having been made to sell, rather to have been used by Tuareg people themselves, proving the authenticity of the tradition.
This box measures: 8 1/8 x 6 1/8 x 2 5/8" (21 x 16 x 7 cm)
