A cool find uncovered in the Khenifra region, Yadira has a background of faded purple tones. She has medium pile that is was once longer and shaggy, but is shorter and distressed with age. There are hints of red near the top and at the top band! Some special features include numbers and tribal motifs woven into the rug. Only the woman who created this rug may know the significance!
ABOUT MOROCCAN RUGS:
Each vintage Moroccan rug is hand woven and knotted by Berber women of the tribal region specified. This level of craftsmanship can take up to weeks or months to complete a single rug. Weaving techniques have been passed down through the generations. The patterns, designs, and colors in each rug vary with each rug, weaver, and tribe – so each piece is truly a unique work of art and 2 pieces will never be the same. Often these rugs have been handed down through the families who created them, and have been uncovered from the mountain and rural areas of Morocco.
