Amazigh Berber Moroccan Vintage Silver Headdress

A vibrant piece of Moroccan heritage: the silver headdress and ornamented headdress; made in Tiznit. Made of silver-plated bronze and decorated with geometric patterns, floral motifs adorned with glass beads, and enamel work adding vibrancy to the overall design. This particular headdress has a crown-like structure that drapes down over the forehead and held by the web of twisted and soldered silver wires and coin at the the top of the head. Two hanging chained pendants at both sides of the headdress and coins across are incorporated into the design, creating a visually stunning and jingling effect as the wearer moves. Three hooked coins are present at the sides and back to hold the piece in place.

A Moroccan silver headdress is a traditional headpiece that reflects the cultural and artistic heritage of Morocco. These headdresses are often crafted with intricate silverwork and are worn by women on special occasions, particularly during weddings and other festive events. The intricate silverwork and detailed designs make these headdresses highly valued and cherished elements of traditional Moroccan attire.
