Catalogue Note
ehel, très finement ouvragé de motifs géométriques offrant une parfaite symétrie. René Bravmann (in Phillips, 1995, p. 531, n° 6.57) note - à propos d'un piquet Touareg de l'ancienne collection de Nicole et John Dintenfass (cf. Sotheby's, New York, 11 mai 2012, n° 80) - que ces œuvres étaient uniquement sculptées pour les castes aisées nommées imochar et insilimen. Ils étaient aussi bien utilisés pour soutenir la tente que pour en diviser l'espace (cf. Ginzberg, 2000, p. 53).
L’exemplaire conservé au "The Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts" de Stanford (inv. n° 2003.25.a) présente une structure sommitale comparable.
