- Lot Description
Northern Africa, Libya, Algeria, Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso, Tuareg (Twareg or Touareg) peoples, ca. late 19th to early 20th century CE. An abstract tent post, hand-carved from hard wood, with a rhombus-shaped tang, a broad rectangular face panel, and a trio of angled points on top. The face of the post bears an undulating openwork pattern replete with ten slit-form perforations, and the remaining space is textured with a dense latticework pattern. The Tuareg peoples are a nomadic group who live and travel in various areas around the southern Sahara Desert. They are vehemently independent and concern themselves primarily with the raising of cattle and what little agricultural products they can grow. Tuareg artisans create few if any examples of figural artwork, though they are known for their abstract and utilitarian creations like this example. Custom metal display stand included. Size: 8" W x 21" H (20.3 cm x 53.3 cm); 22.75" H (57.8 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: private Los Angeles, California USA Collection; ex-Sam and Sharon Singer collection
