  • what a nice picture, and great to watch! Reminds me of the nomad ladies in the desert, north of Timbuktu. When we arrived, the first thing after putting up a tent for us, they made gris gris for each of us ladies, to protect against the djins of the desert (made of red coloured goatleather and little mirrors). The colour looks similar to the saddle... I still have them.
