Rosanna thought more people might be interested in our mail conversation concerning fibulae. Now that she resolved my picture problems, I will post them along with our discussions. I know, these are not beads, but towards the end phenolic beads come back on the foreground.

Pictures below: A pair of our collection from the Central High Atlas (145 gram with chain)- similar style of Rosanna's.
