This post has been vetted as old and rare.
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.
Although the wood is extremely hard, some of the tigettewin posts
have eroded ends, splits or cracks. We have photographed them to show the
small flaws in the details. The black metal bases are included in the price.
