Vintage Mauritanian Sahara mat “rug” with striped design

Produced by the nomadic Tuareg tribes of Mauritania – the Tuareg mats are handmade with reed and decorated with leather. Mauritania is a country of cultural and ethnic diversity. Arabic-speaking Moors comprise the largest group of about two-thirds of the population. 

Among Moors, there are two major subgroups: White Moor (Bidan), an Arab-Berber group that worked traditionally as herders, traders, and oasis farmers; and Black Moor (Haratine), the descendants of freed tributary and slave groups who practiced extensive dry land agriculture and herding.

Condition: Remember its very antique rug , comes with vintage and antique touches” 
small minor scratches but to me that’s the beauty of this antique mat.
