Ait Serrouchen?
Definetely Hillary,
BUT, there were also worn by awhole bunch of other tribes from eastern high atlas as well, and while ait seghrouchen kept the niello alive in their jewelry tradition (as well as fake niello) all these tribes, which were closer to the fes and meknes, abandonned it in favour of an all-moroccan-coin necklaces and ornaments
You could find these virtually from the southern vicinity of the city of TAZA up until the deepest part of the ait seghrouchen territorry (almost errachidia) as well as possibly by someladies from the ait hadiddou which were the only one around who would "borrow" nielloed pieces from the ait seghrouchen to replace their bold cast and heavy silver ones
A very nice find Hillary, these are not common
What a coup!
