Vintage Round Leather Artisan Fringe Pillows

The cushions are made from genuine cowhide or other animal leather. They feature intricate, hand-tooled or hand-painted geometric star patterns created from pieces of leather sewn together (patchwork). The distinctive long leather fringe is a common design element, sometimes associated with traditional Tuareg or Berber styles, often collected in Mali or traded into Morocco. They are often used as decorative throw pillows, floor cushions, or small poufs. They can also be used as art on a wall.
