Vintage Mid-Century Mauritanian Tuareg Mat curated by Breuckelen Berber

About the Item

Woven by the nomadic Tuareg tribes of Mauritania with palm reed and leather, these mats offer a textural alternative to traditional woven textile floor coverings. This piece exhibits a rather symmetrical composition of prominent cross motifs contained within square and rectangular borders. These vertical bands hold intricate woven patterns of lozenges, zig-zags, and stripes. The Tuareg people are a large Berber ethnic confederation. They principally inhabit the Sahara in a vast area stretching from far southwestern Libya to southern Algeria, Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso.
