Gaoui also has a small museum with examples of Kotoko and Sao ceramics from different eras. In Gaoui, a small town on the banks of the Chari not far from N`Djaména, you can admire the pottery art of the Kotoko, who see themselves as descendants of the Sao high culture. Weavers, potters, manufacturers of basketry and wickerwork, and leather craftsmen are also important players in traditional craftsmanship. The blacksmiths, who belong to the Haddad’s own caste and occupy a special position in society, are important for handicrafts. Art and traditional handicrafts play an important role both in everyday life and in people’s religious life.Įvidence of artistic forms of expression can be proven above all in the Tibesti and Ennedi Mountains up to Neolithic times through impressive and well-preserved rock paintings.
