In the deserts of the Horn of Africa, Somalia, Eritrea and Ethiopia,
camels are a valuable animal for the nomads; the lead camels
are always known to have a large wooden bell around their neck with a rope.

These were gifts given while traveling to rural areas of Somalia
and Ethiopia. Travel was on dirt roads among the camel herds.
