Description from the seller

XL Berber Necklace – Southern Atlas, Moroccan (late 20th century)

Weight: 1 860 g
Height: 45 cm
Provenance: a small village in the Southern Atlas, Morocco

A superb and imposing traditional Berber necklace of large size, typical of the tribes of southern Morocco.
A rare ceremonial piece, richly composed of large beads in bright and contrasting colors.

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

This ceremonial necklace, crafted and worn artisanally, testifies to the cultural and symbolic richness of Berber traditions, where each color represents a wish of protection, fertility or prosperity.

In excellent overall condition, with some wear marks typical of its age.
Authentic decorative piece, ideal for lovers of tribal art 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.
