TUAREG Veil Weight 28, 13", $150, SOLD, Niger
Famous for their jewelry, the Tuareg employ the same elaborate aesthetic
when fashioning their inventive veil weights which are used by women to
hold their headcloths in place. These assrou n' swoul, which resemble
the large decorative keys for camel bag padlocks, are forged from geometric
layers of silver, brass and copper.
