Azilal rugs or tribal carpets from the Azilal region in the Atlas Mountains are traditionally woven by Berber women for domestic use. The wonderfully wild and abstract compositions silently give insight into a culture which has its roots in heathen religions. The minimalistic and abstract images are expressions of the natural environment and translate the joy, fear, and aspirations of the weaver.
