- I don't believe it's Moroccan, I believe it's Berber,
but I think it's Algerian Berber. - [Interviewer] Okay
- And here's why I think that. The request from Bill
Fagg and I guess Margaret for her museum, the University museum
was that the British Museum wanted to have more
Berber jewelry on their collection than they have.
And that if in addition they would like to have
Berber pottery, if that were available. So would I please, kind
of sponsor their visit and help them to get
there and particularly to go out of the city to
a town called Tizi Ousou. Where this material was
made, it was restored, sometimes when they
needed you know, repairs. And so I went with them
and both Margaret and Bill bought things for their museums.
And then when they were finished buying, I had become
very envious because I though the colors were beautiful
and I probably should never have the spent the money I spent
on this one but this is the one I bought in that little gathering in Ousou.
