Mali Hair on Goat Skins
Medium to large goat skins, medium thickness generally. Two small
Djembe drum heads or one large drum head in each goatskin.
Beautiful colors; predominately white and brown, some black, mottled, pinto, red or yellowish brown with dark accents.
These goat skins are selected early in the morning at the Bamako market.
This selection is based on thickness, rejecting any skin with any faults such as cuts, holes, scars or buttons. At our workshop, skins are than cleaned of extra meat, grease, blood and soil and disinfected to kill bacteria. During the sun drying process, the skins are stretched to remove wrinkles. After drying, the outside parts are cut away and skins are stocked for International shipment.
Clean goat skin, with no dust or residue. Specify color and thickness preference on ordering.

People sometimes ask me, "Are these animals raised humanely using cruelty free methods?"
Both the goat skins from Pakistan and Africa come from cultures for which goats are the main source of meat and milk. As such they are treated as valuable assets for a family, and are generally freely grazed. They aren't killed for their skin, generally for meat and ceremonial use...nearly every cultural event requires a goat be killed and eaten to verify the importance of the event. In my book this is humane..they are neither kept confined, made to suffer, or disrespected...they are valuable parts of an agrarian culture and all parts are used. |
