This pair of silver & coral fibulae is one of the most amazing pieces we have come across in 20+ years of collecting rare and unusual African jewelry. The metal is old coin silver, which is a high silver-content metal
derived from melting down old European silver coins. The craftsmanship
is traditional Berber. The two fibulae are very heavy and are in beautiful condition, with a lovely patina and original, high quality, coral cabochons. Finding a matched pair of fibula of this quality is a real treat. Just beautiful.
The two fibula each measure between 6 inches to 6.5 inches tall (approximately 160 mm) and approximately 2.5 inches wide (71 mm).
