Berber influenced Moroccan bracelet & broach

Post by WarrenKundis »

Picked up this approximately 1950s Moroccan silver bracelet and broach set some time ago that has been influenced by traditional Berber design. The Arabic letters you see are detached as a design element only. There is a particular Berber village that produced work in a more traditional format. Both the bracelet and broach bear punch marks indicating a silver content of 800.

Have spotted a similar piece on this forum with open filigree work that is reported to have been produced in Allepo Syria.

Would very much appreciate your comments.

Obivously that supposed link with photobucket did not work. First attempt at posting images with my older iPad. Suggestions?
