Wonderful necklace and thanks for the explanation.Did you buy it in Mauritania? Is it used for special occasions?
Beautiful! I have enjoyed some of Mauritanias culture in Timbuktu and surroundings (our camel trekking guide, resp. friend, is from Mauritania and we lived in his house in TImbuktu). Therefore I am very interested in these pictures, resp. items. I had gum arabic in Mali, but they chewed it... Also love Mauritanian music (Dimi Mint Abba), etc. Will look at the other pictures. thanks for posting them! It looks fantastic.
Hello, Chantal. Yes, I bought it at a market in Nouakchott.
Izligen (the plural of Azalagh) are meant for everyday use.
I enjoyed these photo's of scented beads of you! Never saw them before, so very interesting to read about their existece.
this is very beautiful. Thank you for showing this.
Had to come back to this again, it is really fantastic. Something like this is now on top of my wish-list....
