Tuareg (Tamajeq) Man



I had a lot of trouble with the camel's head on this one. It pays to have a reference photo rather than relying on memory.

One of my friends when I was little was of the Tamajeq. Hence they have a special place in my heart.

The turban is indigo, and stains the skin for quite some time after dyeing. I think that's why the Tamajeq are sometimes known as the blue men of the desert.
