Delighted to bring this beauty from my travels to the Hausa regions of WestAfrica. This comes as a set of 4 items, but can also be purchased individually. Available in 7 colour-ways. The set comprises 3 leather cases for the floor cushions, meant for sitting, called tum-tum; and a large matching circular leather rug called kilishi (pronounced ki-lee-shee, as distinguished from the traditional snack pronounced kili-shee). This is a traditional sitting arrangement and will be seen in Hausa royal households, particularly in the rooms where the "King" (i.e. sultan) or "Sarki" receives formal guests. Ideal as meditation cushions. The 3 leather cases for the sitting cushions are to be filled with pillow stuffing or any other filling for soft toys, or can be taken out of pillows or old duvets. This makes a most comfortable sitting cushion for meditation, yoga, etc, and is a real beauty that will make a real difference to any space. It will instantly add a very cosy and traditional African air to your living area. 100% ethically sourced authentic animal hide, traditionally cured. No animal cruelty involved.
