African Tuareg Leather Tassel – Handmade West African Fringe Pendant, 7-8" (1 Tassel)
Bring bold Sahara-inspired texture into your designs with this authentic Tuareg leather tassel. Handcrafted in West Africa from soft goat leather, each tassel is dyed, cut into fine fringe, and wrapped into a striking tiered form.
These tassels reflect the rich artisan traditions of Tuareg nomadic culture, known for their distinctive leather craftsmanship across the Sahara region. Each piece carries natural variation in tone and movement, making every tassel beautifully unique.
Colors may include deep red, forest green, golden yellow, black, burnt orange, and earthy tones. No two are ever identical.
Their generous size and soft movement make them perfect for statement jewelry, textile art, and bohemian home accents.
