The nomadic Tuareg live in tents made of goat skins or palm fiber mats. When a woman marries, her family makes a tent for her. The tent belongs exclusively to her; she is responsible for its care & upkeep. In fact, men are considered guests in their wives' homes. How often a nomadic Tuareg family moves depends on the weather, season & quality of pasture. It takes about 2 hours to pack up an entire household. Beautifully handcrafted, this new and skillfully made leather shade was made to be used to keep the harsh sunlight and heat from penetrating their tents.
