"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", they say.... Authenticity obviously too. Really is...? All pieces shown here are - with the exception of one - are new as day, fresh from the workshop and do not have to be found, leave alone to be collected yet. Any desired amount of them can simply be bought. Or ordered! That, of course, is valid for the Nigerian piece (on third photo) as well. This piece is, of course, NOT "old" neither! The leather appliques, as the poster writes, are anything but traditional style neither, not only, but also because such pieces are not worn, traditionally!, as pendants of a necklace. Vara! PS I dunno if was said so, but please note, the few pieces of minor-grade amber (in all, color, size and condition), shown in the same post, are neither Moroccan. PPS I recommend, Uwe, giving up searching the tourist markets. There is nothing to find of collectible value, at least not in the price-range of pieces you´re showing here and in other posts. Not since at least 15-20 years! There are basically just two shops left in all of Morocco, where the serious collector can find pieces of value. This collector, to make it clear, should come with a wallet worth, AT LEAST!, 20.000 Dollars. 50.000 were way better, especially if this collectors wanted to get more than one, maybe 2-3 or even 4 pieces. Even then!!!! one has to take great care. Clever and perfect forgery is widespread and comes unnoticed by the avarage collector too often. The pieces presented by Uwe are of NO collectible value at all, unless one were seeking a sweet-little holiday present. None of them, as harsh as this may sound to (some of) you, represent any collectible value. For the possible statements, I already see being posted in response - those of the kind "authentic or not, I like them" - I can only repeat my opening statement and add "so what....?"
