TUAREG LOCKS, Niger

The Tuareg employ an elaborate aesthetic when fashioning their inventive locks and keys. Geometric layers of silver, brass and copper are forged into working padlocks that come with a set of keys and can be opened in three succesive stages. Numbers 8, 9 and 10 are older and work with only one key.

These are all new and were probably made to be sold.
