Collana Ambra Africana di artigianato Berbero
190,00 €
Collana in ambra africana: interessante girocollo di artigianato Berbero, dalla dimensione importante, composta da grosse rondelle irregolari, sia nel diametro sia nello spessore.
Con tale, ‘INAPPROPRIATO’ nome si intendono tutti quei materiali di imitazione, e quindi sintetici, con i quali in diversi luoghi venivano creati i monili facenti poi la funzione dell’oggetto originale. Per le popolazioni Berbere della zona dell’Atlante e per gli Etiopi, l’Ambra è il materiale protettivo per eccellenza, usato come scudo e difesa grazie alle sue proprietà magiche e profilattiche. Annoverate come uno dei più importanti gioielli di dote, le collane in Ambra hanno sempre avuto un alto costo commerciale: per questo, nelle famiglie con poca disponibilità economica, si ovviava procurandosi monili in bachelite, dall’identico aspetto e valore simbolico, ma meno costosi, ed ai quali venivano attribuite le stesse qualità del materiale autentico.
Il diametro dei singoli elementi che compongono la collana è di circa 3 cm, mentre il loro spessore varia da 1 a 2 cm. È infilata su un robusto cordone in cotone cerato rosso intenso che funge anche da chiusura nella parte dell’asola e sostiene un originale pezzo in ottone come bottone di chiusura.
Collana esteticamente molto affascinante e caratteristica, deve il suo valore non tanto al materiale in sé ma alla storia ed alla tradizione che la accompagnano, fattore costitutivo della proprio cultura d’origine, e quindi da apprezzare anche come oggetto da collezione.

Descrizione
Interesting Necklace with a considerable volume realized with large slices, irregular both in diameter and in thickness, of african amber.
Such an ‘INAPPROPRIATE’ name refers to all those materials of imitation -and therefore synthetic- with which in many places were created jewels then used with the original intent. For the Berber peoples of the Atlas region and the Ethiopians, Amber is the protective material par excellence, used as a shield and defense because of its magical and prophylactic properties. Counted as one of the most important jewels of dowry, the necklace in Amber have always had a high commercial cost: so families with little disposable income would buy Bakelite jewelry, of an identical appearance and symbolic value, but less expensive, and to which were attributed the same qualities of the authentic material. The diameter of each individual element of the necklace is about 3 cm, while their thickness varies from 1 to 2 cm.
This jewel has been threaded on a sturdy waxed cotton wire dyed a deep red used as the closure of the necklace thanks to the buttonhole and original brass piece. This necklace looks both charming and characteristic, owing its values not so much to the material itself but to the history and tradition that accompany it, constitutive factors of its culture of origin and therefore appreciable as a collector’s item.
