This is a beautiful Carved Wood Tent Pole from the Nomadic people of the Southern Sahara called the Tuareg. This tent post is called Igem and are erected outside each Tuareg family's tent to mark or locate the entrance flap and enhance the doorway. After leather, wood is perhaps the most important material in Saharan daily life, and is used for the poles and beams of the Nomads' tents. They are used to hang bags, saddles as well as bed frames, dishes, cups, milking bowls, mortars and pestles. Each pole is sharpened to a point for standing upright in a nomadic encampment, and the upper half is elaborately carved and pierced with semicircles and triangular shapes. A wonderful item to have in your home or collection.
