A very charming miniature Berber rug, probably originally a piled pillow face, woven by the highly inventive weavers of the Ait Bou Ichaouen tribe, located in Talsint province very close to the border with Algeria. The rugs of this tribe have always been distinguished by highly improbable colour combinations played into a complex geometric substrate. A great scatter rug but also a very good candidate for the wall.
