74730 Vintage Beni Ourain Moroccan Rug in Traditional Village Style 06’08 x 09’01 From Esmaili Rugs Collection. Rugs of the Beni Ourain tribe, one of the seventeen tribes of the Moroccan Berbers, exhibit simple yet classic designs on a neutral background. This vintage Moroccan Beni Ourain rug is patterned with a free-form diamond lattice pattern dotted with fertility symbols in traditional village style. The allover lozenge pattern can also represent a figurative gate to keep out the evil spirits. Lacking a written language, the Berber Tribe and Beni Ourain weavers created pieces rich in symbolism and history to document their everyday existence. This striking example of a Beni Ourain will add a touch of nomadic village folk art or Mid-Century Modern style to nearly any space. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Morocco. Beni Ourain. Berber Tribes of Morocco. Measures: 06'08 X 09'01.
