  • Very splendid set. Where is Tarbjicht? Had never heard of it.........

  • verry nice pice jose. i like a lot. it is realy a verry good ensemble

  • i m gettig another one from Algeria. but i dont think that is so beautiful as yours

  • chantal, i think it is tarjijt what is east of tiznit. it is a berber name of region and it is actualy an insect name

  • Beautiful pieces with nice patina!

  • Thanks Ait. Have now found it on Google.

  • Beautiful set JOSE.

    Another "child" of the desireable worm hole fibulas.

    I am not ok with the tarjicht origin, more eastwards towards southern eastern anti atlas. Definetely from the pre sahara but rather copiying model from central and eastern anti atlas...probably from FOUM ZGUID or MIRIMIMA close to the JEBEL BANI among the harratine people

  • Thank you very much, Ayis. Wow, that is impressive!. I guess that the seller probably told me where he sourced them but they come from the area you say.
