moroccan berber middle atlas rug. An unusual example from the region of Mrirt displaying the various shades of browns in lines across the field which is typical of their work. The weaver has clearly been influenced by the surrounding Berber tents and has included 9 of them in the design. Another example of simplistic tents in Berber weaving is shown as Plate 166 in "Carpets and Textiles of Morocco" by Pickering and Yohe. It is a fascinating portrayal of rural life. Reference 2485.
