MADE51 Tassel of Strength

Crafted by Malian refugees living in Niger

This tassel, made by Tuareg refugee women in Niger using artisanal leather and a horn bead, celebrates the empowerment of women around the world. Tuareg tribes hold progressive gender views – women have an equal, if not elevated, status in the community. Their semi-nomadic tribes are matrilineal – family trees are traced through the women. Each tassel is a symbol of the power and potential of women in our world.
