Very Fine Pair of Berber Silver Bracelets

A fine example of  enameled silver work from South Morocco, found also on swords and daggers from the area.

Berber silver work from Morocco follows in a way the technique that came from Moorish Spain. Colorful enamel in bright blue yellow and green set with colored stones (and recently, with colored glass) and decorated with braided or twisted silver wire.

The fine pair of bracelets offered here is most probably coming from Tiznit, a town on the Atlantic shore in south west Morocco. Heavy silver frames bordering dense array of tiny silver tubes, set with blue and green stones (Glass ??) and blue green and yellow enameled axes.

 2 1/2 inches (6 cm) diameter, 1 1/2 inches (4 cm) wide, 205 grams each. Very good condition. Rare early 20C. art work
