Beautiful! I know the styles of the ones quite right and quite left, the two in the centre I don't, they are very interesting, but all are great!

Hi,

Would I be correct in thinking that pieces with the rose/flower on them usually come from Essaouira?

Hi Becky,

yes the rose hails from Andalucia and is often found on pieces from Essaouria.

Thank you everyone for the comments. Thank you Sarah for the interesting information. Regarding the one in the middle, on top of the large band, I saw something very similar in "Bijoux Berbères au Maroc dans la Tradition Judéo-Arabe" by David Rouach, in the section called 'Les oasis du Djebel Bani' (shown in the map as an area just south of Tafraout. I'll make a photo of it and post it.
