This silver bracelet, originating from the High and Central Middle Atlas in Morocco, is characteristic of Berber craftsmanship from the region. The engraved motifs, combining diagonal lines and stylized scrolls, reflect the geometric and natural influences typical of this mountainous area. Silver, traditionally used for its protective qualities, is hallmarked, ensuring its authenticity. The wear and natural patina suggest extended use, common in jewelry passed down through families.
