Description from the seller

Originating from Agadez (Niger), wooden structure lined with camel and gazelle leather, with reinforcements and metal ornaments, featuring beautiful abstract geometric designs painted on the leather in good condition for its age; the leather shows wear from use and time as well as some adornments. The wooden stock bears two small silver adornments.
