Old Silver Moroccan Berber Ring with Chevron Bead
A vintage authentic silver Moroccan Amazigh (Berber) ring with a central chevron bead. The silver is high grade. These multi-layered chevron beads were originally made in Murano, Venice, and were transported to North Africa in the 15th century where silversmiths incorporated slices of the beads to make these beautiful rings. The chevron is set inside a protective eye motif which is surrounded by engraved patterns. The wide band has inlaid strips of resin. In good vintage condition. Stunning.
