well the filigree here is more of wpiraling a long silver thread and constructing a very harmonious wave pattern
These are interesting --clearly filigree, are they silver or silver plated? The enamel looks as if it has been restored, or repainted ( the mint green enamel looks to be an unusual color) but it could be that the colors are not showing up accurately in the photograph.
silver they are and the enamel might have been refurbished but not recently, the colours are quite similar to the real ones, recently i have come up with the conclusion that there is a real craziness in the ait ouaouzguit old stuff, surprising me each time...
This could be the result of an old kingdom settling there or that the ait ouaouzguit country being a shelter for some ancient techniques that have disappeared there
I think you are right about the craziness of the ait ouaouzguit stuff, it is often fine silverwork with really odd colors and strange repousse -- very different from the consistent design of other Moroccan pieces -- I often wonder how anybody even can identify the pieces as ait ouaouzguit since they often look unrelated to me.
Some other details of these bracelets to be soon on sale on my ebay page here
Nice! What is your eBay user ID again?
These are pretty! nice designs. Very nice color of enameling with the glass. Harder to find type of cuffs.
Here you are Hillary
