Berber women are the creator of all the famous Moroccan rugs. While they weave a rug, they add always a personal touch by creating designs with strong meaning and story. Based on history, the tribe’s people living in the atlas mountains were in the need of some furniture that will keep them warm during the cold seasons. Since the only resource of living was pasturing, they used sheep fleece for weaving in order to be spun into a yarn that gives birth to rugs. These handwoven rugs are designed with different symbols like the lozenge, lozenge with extended sides, chevron, X-shape, straight line with hatching, triangles, ladders, zigzag etc… Each one had a meaning for instance lozenge, X-shape, chevron refer to women and straight lines, sticks and twig-and-ladder refer to men. Many others carry themes such as birth, protection against the evil eye, good fortune which holds Baraka, fertility and magical power. All the symbols have their own signification and were conveyed from weaver to weaver over centuries. This is the reason why it still retains their authenticity.
