21401 Vintage Beni Ourain Moroccan Rug, 06'07 x 11'10.

With its simplicity, plush pile and tribal style, this hand knotted wool vintage Berber Beni Ourain Moroccan rug is a captivating vision of woven beauty. It features a diamond lattice composed of brown lines running from the top to the bottom crisscrossing in an organic manner, creating a handsome lozenge trellis with a strong sense of dimensionality and a striking visual effect. The diamond trellis is decorated with cross motifs, burdocks, eight-point stars, fused triangles, and ambiguous tribal symbols. Historical richness and full of Ancient Berber symbolism, this vintage Beni Ourain rug features traditional symbols of protection and femininity while the triangles along the vertical sides traditionally represent the male's presence. In Moroccan rugs, male motifs often appear on the outer portions of the composition, framing and enclosing the female motifs. This presentation can be seen
