A tagelmust is a traditional headscarf worn by the Tuareg people, an indigenous group primarily found in the Sahara Desert. This garment is typically made from cotton or wool and is designed to protect the wearer from harsh sun, sand, and wind. The tagelmust is often wrapped around the head and face, leaving only the eyes visible, which helps shield against the elements. The tagelmust is not only practical but also holds cultural significance. It symbolizes identity and status within Tuareg society. The color and style of the tagelmust can vary, often reflecting personal taste or regional differences among the Tuareg communities.
