True Berber Berber Carpet Beni Ouarain, 2.15 x 2.90 M

Great moroccan berber carpet beni ouarain traditional and authentic. Ecru graphic patterns zig-zag dark brown in the frame, knotted dots. The beni ouarain, composed of 17 tribes, constitute one of the berber ethnic groups of the maghreb and occupy the north-east of morocco, in the middle atlas. These rural communities live in particular from sheep farming. In connection with the nature and cold nights of the mountains in winter, sheep from the marmoucha breed develop a long and quality wool. Thus the wool used for this carpet is 100% natural, unstained, ivory color, the brown wool used to draw the patterns comes from the hair of the sheep's head. It is a knotted-stitched rug, which means that each strand of wool is knotted individually and manually on the chain threads of the loom. The number of knots is high in terms of time spent on completion. As with all berber carpets, the motifs symbolize culture and are assimilated to the couple, the family and all the acts of everyday life. Berber symbols follow the inspiration of the women who weave these books as a writing page. Dimensions 2.95x 2.15 m. 100% wool.
