Very special Tuareg ebony wood cuff encased in hand etched fine silver. Extremely handsome one of a kind treasure. Handmade in Niger, Africa. This is an exceptional example of the exquisite hand engraving that can be achieved with simple hand tools and ancient techniques.
The Tuareg are a Berber people living a nomadic pastoral lifestyle in the Sahara of North Africa. They are sometimes called "the blue people" because their lovely indigo dyed clothing can stain their skin! Please see below for a size reference.
