Hand-carved from indigenous wood by Tuareg artisans in Niger, this Tuareg wooden bowl embodies both functionality and beauty, featuring a beautiful patina and lined etching near the circumference. These bowls were used for food preparation and serving for many years and offer a glimpse into the culinary traditions of the Tuareg people, known for their nomadic lifestyle in the Sahara Desert. The Tuareg are semi-nomadic herders and traders and reside in Northern Mali, extening across its borders into Niger, Burkina Faso, Algeria, and Libya.
