Harratine hair ornament.
The harratine amazigh nomads live at the northern edge of the sahara. Jewellery is so important to the women of the harratine that they are never seen without adornment. Even when cultivating their crops in this harsh environment. This large beaded hoop of silver would be worn suspended from the hair. Although i have seen them offered previously in marrakech as bracelets. This piece has saharan amber and resin beads.Weight 41g, diameter 8.7 Cm
