Rehamna

The plains surrounding the imperial city of Marrakech is an important source of rugs and flatwoven textiles alike. The vastest region in that area is the Rehamna, to the north and east of Marrakech. Different weaver groups inhabiting the area produce them. There are two main types of textiles in the area, namely, fairly plain red hand-knotted pile rugs and flatweaves or -hanbels- and those which seem to find their inspiration in the motifs and patterns found in some other flatweaves. This beautiful artisan hand-knotted pile rug belongs to that first category.
