These mats are made of natural materials like as palm leaves, reeds, leather strips, and are often embellished with beautiful geometric patterns and symbolic designs. They serve both functional and cultural purposes, such as sitting, praying, or decorating tents. The craftsmanship exemplifies Tuareg artistry, endurance, and a rich cultural legacy passed down through centuries.
