Tuareg Embroidery
The Tuareg are an ethnic group who live in the Sahara Desert, North Africa. They call themselves Kel Tamasheq, Kel Tamajaq or Kel Tagelmust (‘People of the Veil’). In general, they are not known for their embroidery, although there are a few garments, especially worn by those who live in the south, that are decorated in this manner.
