Among the notable pieces of the Anti-Atlas are those crafted by the Ida Ou Gnadif tribes, featuring large engraved plates of various sizes, nielloed and set with glass cabochons. Fibulas (tizerzai) and necklaces in the Anti-Atlas are imposing, often combining large pieces with filigree enamelled balls called tagmut.
