This pair of brooches, or fibulae, is a striking example of Moroccan jewelry from the early 20th century. Crafted by the artist Talouine-Irhil n'Oro, the piece showcases the intricate craftsmanship and use of colorful enamels typical of Berber jewelry. The brooches feature a central triangular design with a red carnelian stone and a decorative chain with green and blue enamel accents. The piece is currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offering visitors a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions of Morocco's Berber people.
