Hello Kees,

This is a necklace from my collection that I made in about 1982. In 1980 I made my first trip to the eastern US, with stops in New York and Boston. In Boston, I went to the Harvard campus museums, and at one of the gift stores I found this enameled Berber pendant. I combined it with some silver Berber coins I had previously bought from Liza Wataghani, and added some Venetian trade beads—including the plain wound yellow beads that more-or-less resemble amber—chosen because they have the same colors as the pendant (yellow, green, dark blue). Berbers love amber.

So there it is.

Jamey
