Against a striking backdrop of red and orange, the rug showcases a mesmerizing geometric tribal motif.

Each element of this Moroccan Azilal rug carries its own symbolic significance, contributing to the rich culture embedded within its design. The diamonds symbolize protection and femininity, while the concentric lozenges evoke notions of continuity and interconnectedness. Triangles represent various aspects of life and existence, while crosses and Baraka motifs bestow blessings and divine protection upon the space they adorn. Together, these symbols create a visual narrative that speaks to the cultural heritage and spiritual beliefs of the Berber tribes.

Handcrafted with meticulous care by skilled artisans, this vintage Moroccan Azilal rug not only serves as a stunning decorative piece but also as a vessel for storytelling and cultural expression.
