Very interesting and beautiful piece. Where from ? Moroccan?
Yes it's from Morocco And it's actually for sell all my items that I've been posting pics of are for sale I am new to the website so I'm still kinda working through it.Looking for a new place to socialize about my collection so here i am
This is a defense bracelet from the Jbel Bani oasis, Morocco. Beautiful, genuine tribal markings and strong styling – a mix of Berber and desert nomad language in the markings. Bery hard to find now
It is probably from the beginning of the 20th Century. The Jbel Bani Region is a poor region, a harsh stark environment and this is a special piece born out of tribal life. It even looks a bit like the desert landscape.
