Traditionally used to secure desert tents, these sculptural wooden pegs were carved by Berber artisans and often decorated with geometric motifs symbolizing protection and identity. Over decades, the wood has developed a deep, rich patina that enhances its authenticity and visual character.

Gallery walls or statement styling
Each piece is entirely hand-carved and unique, reflecting traditional craftsmanship passed down through generations. See less
