Good components. The central southern cross looks Mauritanian. The silver beads in the middle with the glass cabochons are from Afghanistan. The overall design is very, very nice and in one of the many Berber styles.

Hillary is right, it is a southern Mauritanian cross from the town of "Boutilimit", very similar to ones in southern Morocco
