MALIAN TUAREG LEATHER AMULETS, MUSKA OR TAWEEZ These traditional Tuareg leather amulets, commonly known as muska or taweez, are masterful examples of nomadic craftsmanship from the North African regions of Niger and Mali. Hand-crafted primarily from goat leather, these functional talismans are adorned with natural pigments and intricate leatherwork that highlight the desert culture's distinct aesthetic. The design is characterized by elaborate, long leather fringes and woven tassels, which provide a striking visual texture to each piece. Historically significant, these pouches served as protective vessels worn around the neck or attached to clothing to carry sacred papers, medicinal herbs, or small personal items, embodying the spiritual and practical heritage of the Tuareg people. $80-120
