The Tuareg Posts 'Igem' are unique items that reflect the beauty of a fascinating tribe. Two matching posts are used outside the tent to mark or locate the entrance and enhance the doorway. The surface of the tent posts are decorated with fine engraving and have good patina from years of handling. The posts are forked at the top for attachment of the leather roof, they are weathered at the bottom from being pegged into the ground. Tents provide shade from the harsh desert sun. The Tuaregs are semi-nomadic, Islamic people speaking the Berber language. Today most Tuareg are semi-nomadic and remain in rural areas.

These cylindrical wooden vessels are carved with great skill by the pastoral Tutsi people who used these vessels to collect milk, honey and carry food. Over the years, as the vessels require repairs, the Tutsi artisans use metal pieces to restore their functionality as they pass them down from generation to generation. The intricate metal patching results in preserving a unique and functional piece of art adding to its intrinsic value.

Please note that many of our handmade items are one of a kind, perfectly imperfect, vintage and have indigenous decorative repair work which we believe adds to the intrinsic value and beauty of the items. No two items are exactly the same.
