More model informationAmazigh rugs: Typically, designs relate to fertility, sexuality, survival, protection, and the natural and agricultural world - with most rugs being hand woven by family women in tight-knit communities with strong cultural traditions For example, the main ‘female’ symbol (alone or as a network), the lozenge, is probably the most important motif in Berber carpets. The chevron, the M-shape, and the X-shape are the other important female symbols.
