Description from the seller
Fascinating lot of Berber tribal craftsmanship (southern Morocco), dating from the mid-20th century (1950-1970).
The set consists of two traditional pieces rich in history and ethnic charm.
Amulet "Hirz": Protective container of square shape, finely decorated in bas-relief with geometric motifs and characterized by the classic inlays in glass paste in the symbolic red and green colors.
It was used to guard verses or prayers.
Kohl Holder (Mekhal)
Cylindrical container for antimony (eye makeup), complete with its original metal applicator.
Both objects feature a magnificent original patina and normal signs of wear that attest to their authenticity.
"Note on amulet condition":
The absence of the original central pendant is noted, as visible in the last photo.
