Description: This ornate, colorful wallhanging features a unique and culturally significant piece of history that represents the Tuareg people, a faction of the nomadic Berber people, that live primarily in the Sahara Desert of Northern Africa. It’s a beautiful representation of the Tuareg, their artistry and their ancestry. In many instances these navigators of the Sahara tell stories through symbols that do everything from identify villages to warding off evil. The colorful patterns and symbolic shapes on this beautiful Tuareg camel bag / adornment provide a visual representation of the customs of the Tuareg culture, their values and the Tuaregs’ desert environment. The wallhanging has a colorful palette of turquoise, black, reddish-brown, green and white made of dyes from indigo, pomegranate, sorghum and minerals. Tassels and fringe are attached that shake with the camel’s movement adding visual impact. The jewelry and display of twelve Moroccan coins attached by tiny chains to a Berber / Tuareg amulet in the center top of the wallhanging provides added attention. The coins are all antique and were made at the beginning of the twentieth century. There are five distinct pendants that rest at the top of five, beautiful, intricately embroidered strips. This unique wallhanging is framed on a white burlap background and is hanging on a rod also covered with white burlap. It’s completely surrounded or encased in plexiglass. It measures 42” in height x 54” wide x 4” deep and weighs approximately 47 lbs. It’s perfect for those who appreciate collectibles from African cultures and ethnicities.
