    I can see here why Ayis might think of the top as different from the rest, but I think that that is due merely to the top having been handled more. The piece looks completely consistent throughout, from what I can see, and similar to some others of this type. On one and the same piece of silver some pieces do get handled a lot more than most. I believe that this piece is considerably older than most Moroccan pieces on this site.
