Hi Jim
I am afraid I cannot help you with the mark on your takouba.
Much of this symbolism is lost in terms of meaning. In the catalogue on the tuareg exhibition only a very small section is devoted to the takouba and on the specimens shown only the classic half moon mark is mentioned.
Regards
Marc
