Fringes in long goat or camel hair, present at one end, the entrance not having any. Knotted by the Berber women of the High Atlas in Morocco
This type of carpet presents a sort of wandering of the patterns in the fields.
These carpets inscribe the image of traced signs.
The ancient Berbers are characterized by an old pink, ocher or red, and straw background, inscribed with uncertain medallions of great disorder, filled with mystery, harshness and violence.
There is a decorative research, a joyful woolen pattern of magic and hidden meaning both on the field and in the borders. You can guess there many trees of life and medallions with checkerboards and staircases .....
But this disorder is only order and purity.
The illiteracy and isolation of these Berber women were expressed in the silence of the very construction of carpets by an abstract tribal iconography deeply buried since the dawn of time in their collective consciousness.
These rugs tell the story of women's lives, each woman creates her rug, her rugs, which makes each piece unique and singular.
(Far from the commercial criteria of today)
These women prisoners of their conditions express themselves in their creation thanks to their imagination making works of art worthy of the greatest museums of modern art and contemporary art.
These rough, clumsy, sometimes clumsy rugs that are these works and all Moroccan Berber rugs are from a world apart.
These fascinating works, this virtuosity is of the order of the conceptual.
This rug has a deep ocher base and soft red, pale blue with tribal designs also seen in the borders.
The edges are finished with natural dark brown goat hair.
Low pile natural hand spun wool with traditional tribal design symbols.
