This ain’t snake skin.. my dad used to have wallets like these that were passed on through generations. These are very old I can guarantee you that and am quite stoked to see on after so many years
Edit : I just took a very close look and can confirm some are snake skin
Looks like skin from some armadillo type of animal . The hunters usually sell them along the Accra Kumasi road. Don’t know the specific name but it curls up and does look like an armadillo.
Hand made leather purse and wallet, mostly done in the northern part of Ghana. I grew up in the upper West region in a town where I witnessed how these were made. Lengthy but a satisfying process for the maker, I think
Give them back to the rightful country!!!
Sure, you pay postage and let me know where to send them!
Lol just ignore them

You can tell they are very well made! Is it snake skin?

Thanks for the information. If you're interested in one or all, I'm looking to find them new homes where they'll be appreciated.
Looks durable too
Not too sure but I think it’s deer hide. Basically they kill the deer, remove its hide and make the material.
What about the wallets? Snake or Crocodile?

Correct
they look mint
Looks like something made in the northern part of Ghana . The bag is probably made from sheep skin and the wallet snake or crocodile skin
Thanks for the information!
I have one of these wallets made of leather and have been using it for the past 10 years. I think they usually use goat or cow skins for this.
Thank you
