Thank you so much for posting this outstanding piece Martin!!!
I really dont know a great deal on these North African guns, but they are fascinating, and incredibly colorful. I am wondering about the significance of the corals imbedded in the butt, and have often seen coral as a decorative addition on Moroccan weapons. Can anyone please explain, is there any kind of talismanic or symbolic meaning?

All best regards ,
Jim
