Item 202: FG-104-20 -- [artifact name unknown]

Leather pouch with two pockets and large cover flap, with scissors and prong attached in leather cases. The leather has a colored design due to dying. The pouch is very simple when closed, but opening the outer flap reveals U-shaped stitching with string and leather, as well as dyed geometric shapes on: 1) the flap covering the second pocket and 2) an extra strip of decorative leather.

Use and Background: This leather bag is thought to have been used for carrying grain or other small items (Tanis: 6). The Tuareg were nomadic herdsman (Albacete 1978:82) from Southern Algeria and Northern Niger (Zeltner 1914:352). They place a high value on artisans (Keenan 1977:95) and their craftsmanship in three primary areas: metal-work, and wood-work, and leather-work, the later being the largest sector of craft considering the large amount of leather crafts they use (Zeltner 1914:355). Their leather-work consists primarily of making provision bags for clothing or grain, small bags and wallets, and cases for knives and daggers (Zeltner 1914: 356).
