An unusually large Berber carpet characterised by an orange background composed of subtle gradations of colour. The type of weave as well as the silky lush pile are distinctive features of the weavings of Oulmes, a village located in the northeastern Middle Atlas. The carpets of this region are regarded as the highest quality Berbers.
