Authentic antique Berber necklace purchased from Tiznit in the South of Morocco. The large sterling silver amulet is called a hertz. I often contained a prayer or some religious passage intended to bring the wearer luck or protection. Ties with a silk braid.
The necklace is also strung of antique:
fossil amber
native amazonite
coral
native shells
sterling silver coins, charms and beads
painted ceramic beads
All of the beads are antique and this is the original composition.
27 inches long
