here is the facebook page of the vendor
I have reffered a private collector to him in response to his offer to sell this collection. I Felt that the pieces were exceptional, I have not purchased directly from the vendor, and my request to visit in Spain to see the collection was declined.......
museum quality in its component but most importantly a very weird way to assemble bits from western anti atlas bits from draa valley and aothers from presahara!!
Marrakech bazars are really contemporary artist!!
Do you mean, Ayis, that you think this item is an assemblage of older elements rather than an original necklace?
Absolutely Patti
I find quite a few pieces from this collection attractive, as I have indicated, but in this instance don't feel as enamoured - it looks too heterogeneous to me, in some such way as ayis indicates.
