Vintage small Amazigh/Berber headpiece from the south of Morocco. Lovely wirework detailing and teardrop-shaped dangles that rest on the forehead. A couple of small stone insets on each of three curved metal plates. Amazigh (Berber), jewelry is large, showy, colorful and FUN, often including lots of detail like enamel in bright colors, large jewels and coins. It represents much more than simply adornment. Each piece can signify fertility, wealth, social and marital status. The Berbers or Imazighen (‘Free people’; plural of Amazigh) are the original inhabitants of North Africa. They speak a number of related languages and share a common cultural heritage. Most Berbers today live in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Mali, Mauritania and Niger.
