Camel Saddles	Sahara Treasures

Maroquinerie in French means leather-work and the finest rare volumes in the world's great libraries are bound in gilded, hand-tooled Moroccan leather. Our elaborately detailed handbags are further decorated with intensely colored leathers, stitched and embroidered into intricate designs not seen in the work of any other culture. The complicated tooling both in front and back of these bags, their novelty closures, and highly original forms make them individual works of art. Sheepskin as supple as silk is used for portfolio envelopes in unexpected colors. Paper-thin stained glass inserted into henna-stained goatskin luminaries delight both the eye and hand. Finely painted leather jewelry chests and fireplace bellows display both imagination and control of the medium. Unusual boxes called battochi are fashioned in the Sahara from clay molds the size of an ostrich egg. They are used for powder, jewelry or coins.
