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.
