It’s Monday (again!) -- wear a crown if you want to! And if you’re going to, why not give this fantastic vintage 1950’s Berber Dowry Coin/Enamel Heirloom Headpiece from Morocco a go?! Lovingly handcrafted from vintage glass beads, antique silver coins, fine enamel work, and niello adorned etched pendants.Niello is a black mixture, usually of sulphur, copper, and silver used as an inlay on engraved or etched metal, especially silver. It is added as a powder or paste, then fired until it melts or at least softens, and flows or is pushed into the engraved lines in the metal surface. It hardens and blackens when cool, and the niello on the flat surface is polished off to show the filled lines in black, contrasting with the polished metal around it. #berber #berberheadpiece #berberheaddress #berbercrown #vintageheadpiece #vintageheaddress #vintagecrown #moroccancrown #moroccanheaddress #moroccanstyle #vintagestyle #enameljewelry #mondaymood #wearacrown #queen #fashion #style #niello #niellojewelry #styleinspo #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWT0BK7vWjr/?utm_medium=tumblr

This Midcentury Berber Parure Headdress Crown for Guedra Dance Performance is positively dreamy! The Guedra takes its name from the drum played to keep its rhythms. The word Guedra means, "pot" in Arabic. The drum is made of a common kitchen pot with goatskin stretched over the top. This drum is a hybrid of the percussive drums used in Africa and the Near East. No other instrument is played. The dance is performed to the beat of one drum and the chanting and hand clapping of onlookers. The rhythm is an unornamented 6, steady and hypnotic. The purpose of the ritual is to serve as a blessing for friends or married people or to the community, or to submit the self to God. This is very unlike the placating of spirits or exorcism found in the Zar dance. Some say the Guedra has the power to attract a mate from miles away, drawn by the mystical rhythm of the drum. Intrigued by this outstanding piece?

Why *shouldn’t* you have an amazing Moroccan Silver and Coral Horned Headpiece Crown? This crown would have been worn as a member of the Ait Baamrane tribe, whose headpieces are distinctive in their use of a distinct horn shape decoration as opposed to the cone shape which is prominent in other Berber designs. Some say that the horns are a symbol of fertility, and that the silver would have protective properties against the evil eye. #berber #berbercrown #moroccancrown #moroccanheadpiece #berberheadpiece #aitbaamran #aitbaamrane #tribaljewelry #tribalcrown #tribalheadpiece #coral #coralheadpiece #hornedheaddress #headdress #evileye #fertilitysymbol #crown #headpiece #fashion #style #styleinspo #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIYeiziB2rp/?igshid=1ooookvpkx720
