a few worm holes. Mostly it is heavily engraved - and it makes me tired just to think of doing all that work! goodness.
Yes, Moroc-
Hi, This fibula is typical of Tiznit in southern Morocco
The work is not wormhole technique, but rather drilled metal with applied surface decor ( dots)

here is a link to a genuine set of wormhole technique fibulae. these are made by joining together hundreds of very tiny silver tubes. The technique has not died out and these are seldom seen on offer in Morocco.
Here is an image of fibulae such as yours being worn.
Warm wishes
