berber high atlas tent bag which is the very fine work of the little known Ait bou Ichaouen Berbers in the eastern High Atlas Mountains which lie close to the border wth Algeria. There are at least ten major variations of flat weave techniques used by this Berber tribe which is extraordinary considering the primiive nature of both geography and lifestyle which prevail. Fortunately the weaving of both flatweaves and piled rugs was researched and documented in the book "Ait bou Ichaouen" by the husband and wife team of Alfred and Susanne Saulniers. This fine bag was probably one of a pair and given as a dowrie gift. The small narrow opening along the top edge is just big enough to allow a hand to put items inside for storage. The design on the front is a lattice of hand tied knots. Reference 2820. Size 13 x 29 inches. Euros 190.
