1. Shagreen

   Shagreen is a type of rawhide consisting of rough untanned skin, formerly made from a horse's back or that of an onager. Shagreen is now commonly made of the skins of sharks and rays. The word derives from the French chagrin and is related to Italian zigrino and Venetian sagrin, derived from the Turkish sāğrī / çāğrī 'rump of a horse' or the prepared skin of this part. The roughness of its texture led to the French meaning of anxiety, vexation, embarrassment, or annoyance.
