- Moroccan Tuareg pendants, sterling silver with brass and ebony 55mm long
- These wonderful pendants are made in two part so that the lower part swings freely from the bar that runs through the center of the upper piece
- In addition to the mixed metals, these pendants are decorated very fine etching typical of the best quality Tuareg workmanship
- The Tuareg are a traditionally nomadic Amazigh (Berber) people who once traveled freely around the Sahara. National borders have gotten in the way, and climate change has forced many to settle. The society was highly stratified, but also being matrilineal, women hold positions of authority both in the family and the culture.
- Silversmithing has long been honored in Tuareg society, and now more than ever, offers a way to make a living in villages and towns.
