This rug originates from Tifelt, located in the northern region of Morocco, acting as a key link between the coastal and inland cities. The area is renowned for its rich cultural heritage, particularly its deep-rooted connection to Amazigh weaving traditions.
Woven from 100% sheep's wool and silk, this intricate, labyrinth-like technique requires exceptional skill and concentration. Each symbol within the design is created through a precise system of counting, reflecting the weaver's expertise and artistry.
The designs often feature symbolic motifs that convey themes of protection, nature, and daily life, with each weaver adding their own unique touch. These Hanbels are not only lightweight but also remarkably durable, making them both practical and beautiful.
