All rectangular shape, unusual purple/blue the left ones; yellow based and with white and yellow centers in murrine the ones at the right. Their last layer of the murrine is tricky to the eyes– it looks green in hand, but with a magnifier it´s clearly blue...

Same street from the last image; a very small shop in Tiznit, outside the central “silver souk”; the shop is full with two visitors, but the owner family is very friendly, even (or because...?) we don´t understand a word of each other. I never leave this shop without a special find, beads from the crowded plates or a nice Talhakimt or adornments of leather from Mauritania. To bargain here means for me, he is writing a price on a paper, than I scratch it and write a lower, he, me, he, me ...In the end everyone is lucky, and the paid price is mostly much lower than it would be in one of the antique shops inside the silver souk.
Sarah, he has as well mostly some nice old silver Berber pieces...! When you come through the left wall gate, first street to the left, 100m to the right is the shop.
