Vintage Tuareg Camel Leather Botta Box - Dagabat Talisman - Mali 1960s Sahara For Sale

The Vintage Tuareg Camel Leather Dagabat Botta Box from Mali in the 1960s Sahara is a unique and handmade piece that functions as a Kola Nut Box, but also serves as a Talisman Container. The geometric pattern and hand-tooled design give it a traditional and authentic feel. Made of high-quality leather and camel hide, this Botta (Dagabat) Box reflects the culture and craftsmanship of the Tuareg and Berber ethnic groups in Africa during the mid-20th century. I offered to buy this from a Tuareg man in the desert - not in a store. We negotiated and it’s been in my personal collection ever since.
