Traditional Enamelled Moroccan Silver. This piece is old, probably dating to around the mid-1900s, but the tradition of this sort of enamelled Silver work is ancient, and the same sort of work is still produced in the same region of south-west Morocco, and by the same Tribal Berber folk, where the Anti Atlas Mountain range tapers down to the coast near Tiznit.
One of the differences between the older pieces, such as the above Traditional Enamelled pendant, and the newer is that the enamel colouring agents used today are less likely to be organic pigments; the colours of the newer pieces tend to be more bright.

Niello work adorns the four corners of the pendant, and the three small hanging pendants, niello being a black decorative inlay fused into engraved metal. Nielo is an ancient art, the black alloy a mixture of copper and sulphur, Silver and lead, often in the past used to decorate the blades of swords. The Tribal Berber folk of the Atlas Mountains of Morocco frequently used it to decorate Silver jewellery.
