Description from the seller

XL Berber rug – Moroccan High Atlas (late 20th century)

Weight: 1,860 g
Height: 45 cm
Provenance: small village of the South Atlas, Morocco.

Superb and imposing traditional Berber necklace of large size, typical of the tribes of southern Morocco.
A rare ceremonial piece, richly composed of large pearls with vivid and contrasting colors.

The large yellow beads are made of Berber amber (phenolic resin), used in Morocco since the mid-20th century to imitate natural amber while retaining its warmth and translucency.
The other pearls, smaller and multicolored, are made of natural stones such as malachite, azurite, and carnelian, creating a striking contrast with the amber elements.

This ornamental necklace, handcrafted and worn artisanally, reflects the rich cultural and symbolic traditions of the Berber people, where each color signifies a wish for protection, fertility, or prosperity.

In excellent overall condition, with some signs of wear typical for its age.
Authentic and decorative piece, ideal for tribal art enthusiasts and collectors of Moroccan ethnography.

Seller's Story

We have been meteorite hunters for a long time. Passionate about these objects which are pieces of interplanetary space, we are delighted to be able to offer, through our collections, exceptional pieces, which everyone can obtain to have a part of the sky in the palm of their hand. Have you ever observed the Milky Way? Have you ever observed a shooting star? Have you ever wondered where this one fell? In any case, we do and were even able to collect some by hand to send them directly to your home. Each of our meteorites is unique and carefully selected before sale, cleaned, often treated, sometimes sliced and sometimes polished using specific equipment. Based in France, we provide meteorites from many different countries across the planet. These objects have traveled staggering distances to end up on our shelves and perhaps even in your home. We provide certificates of authenticity for each piece. We make it a point of honor to offer quality batches, sent carefully and quickly across Europe with a tracking number.
