Forked Post 118
17.5" high x 4" wide x 1" deep
$100
This post has been vetted as authentic.
This forked post has been "wired" with transparent fishline to hang on a wall. Although the wood is extremely hard, this tigettewin post
has an eroded end. Because of that it would be difficult but not impossible to be mounted.
Forked tigettewin posts were used in various ways in each Tuareg
family's tent, holding leather bags or supporting one end of a wooden rod
which in turn held saddle and camel bags.
