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.
