Among the artisan textiles, knotted and flatwoven (hanbel) alike, woven by the different Berber groups living in the Moroccan Middle Atlas mountains those made by the tribe of the Beni Mguild or Beni M’Guild are, no doubt, among the most remarkable and attractive ones. To that contribute the quality of the wool, the dense decoration that plays not only with the motifs, full of meanings and symbolism, but also with superb contrast of warm colors (brown, camel, gold, red, cream, etc.) without renouncing to brighter ones. The result is what we may define as almost irisdecent extremely lustrous medium pile rugs,elegant, full of character and that, sooner or later, end up becoming the focus of everybody's attention. This particular vintage hanbel features a wonderful combination of colors and shades and lozenge, fish bone and zig-zag pattern. Beautiful.
