Region: Maroc (Anti-Atlas, province de Tiznit)
Intersection register · custodian, not owner
Tiznit, a fortified town in southern Morocco (province of Tiznit), was renowned for its mellah where Jewish jeweler artisans, masters of the niello-on-silver technique, had settled. Their jewelry — necklaces, fibulae, bracelets — constituted the traditional adornments of Amazigh women of the Souss and the Anti-Atlas. The community emigrated to Agadir and Israel in the 1950s–1960s; a few pieces of their production are today preserved in museum collections.
