A necklace created with trade beads and enameled 5 antique walata idy pendants with green and yellow enameling from the Tiznit area of the Anti Atlas Mountain region. 

The pendants have incredible patina, from a high silver content, and are covered with granulation, as seen in Moorish groups particularly in Mauritania. Three pendants have enameling, two do not, and there are also two antique granulated bead pendants with granulation.  The amulet use is also shared among different groups.. 

See page 280 , figure 438 for like type of pendant  in the publication Splendors du Maroc .
