The Zayan rug comes from the Ait Oumalou tribe of Morocco. Amalou is a Berber word that means “shadow”. It’s a word used to designate the Middle Atlas Atlas Mountains where the Berber people, semi-nomadic stands, inhabit of the shadowy slope. Steep wooded terrain with difficult access and harsh climate that forged the tenacious temperament of the Amazigh. The Ait Oumalous were reputed to be indomitable, eager for excessive independence, which explains why the Zayan tribe is renowned for its attachment to the ancient land and their struggle for independence. We can see this value in the rugs that the women woven. The motifs are not always clear and the dominant colors are strong and rather dark. ● Dimensions: (212 x 307 cm) - (6'11" x 10'1" feet) ● Weight: 12,1 Kg ● Region: Middle Atlas, Khenifra ● Style: Bohemian & Eclectic ● Colors: Purple, Beige, Blue ● Material: Wool ● Age: Vintage ● Size: Large ● Design: Geometric ● Pile: Medium Pile
