The Tuareg people organised trade routes through the Sahara to the northern coastal towns of Africa. They used camel leather painted with tribal motifs for the transportation of goods. This bag would have been used for many years to transport personal possessions such as clothes, drink and food across the Sahara, and possibly goods for trading.
