Traveling Man Treasures Curiosity Vault is selling this antique tent pole/picket made by the Tuareg people of Niger. The intricate carved geometric designs indicate that this pole was a "prestige piece" intended to embellish the tent. This pole is in good condition for its age and the carvings are still recognizable.
The Tuareg are nomadic Berbers who inhabit the Sahara. The mother’s tent is the heart of the family. It is made of a traditional wooden structure, old pieces of clothing, linen and goat skin mats which are sown together. The tent is anchored into the sand with tent pickets. Each picket has its own unique design and function. ‘Ehel’ pickets are placed inside the tent to hold the wall mats, ‘eseber’ in place. These mats are placed around the parents bed to create a form of privacy.
