This exceptional blanket-like vintage rug from the mountains of the Azilal region (in the region of Béni Mellal-Khénifra) has a gorgeous ordered yet organic motif structure woven in a unique soft and subtle colour story that is unusual for the Azilal who tended to favour cream and fawn hues. Most likely woven as a sleeping rug, the brick and square symbols are combined to create a grid within which the creator has woven cross and lozenge motifs. Perhaps a classic Berber story of female symbols placed within angular and protective male motifs. Knotted in a painterly palette of deep salmon pink, faded red, and charcoal gentle sawtooth selvedges, in 100% fine hand-spun wool on a cotton base. With small areas of visible restoration in the body, there is also light pile wear

Size: 2.86m plus two short fringes by 1.84m or 9’6’’plus two short fringes by 6’ approx with a slightly irregular shape
