Tuareg leather cushion from Niger. 40×40 cms

This colourful and lavishly decorated traditional Tuareg leather cushion is made of goatskin. Designs have been cut out of leather and embroidered as well as drawn.

As is customary, men prepare and tan the skin used to elaborate their goods and the women affix all detail decoration such as cut out patterns, fringes, embroidery, etc. The designs are passed down from generation to generation with extreme attention given to detail.

The backside is made of undecorated plain leather.
