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.
The main difference between the older pieces, such as the above, 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.
Note the Silver chain in the above necklace, totally handcrafted, the twist-wire links especially fetching, and each link soldered closed.
