Silver Fibula from Morocco

This antique brooch comes from the Rif region of Morocco. The centre of this fibula represents an almond. The almond is surrounded by 8 flower petals.  This type of jewellery was worn in pairs on the shoulders to hold a scarf. The two fibulas were usually connected by a chain and this jewellery was made by casting.
