Ait Ouakli, meanwhile I got one from Sarah with the leather bag to it! Thank you anyway! It is strange, I have been in these cities you mention (TImbuktu, Djenné, Mopti) several times, I never saw one... but I have one from Sarah now. I heard that it is also used as a bookmark, but I had my doubts. If you say so.........probably it is so!
