This hand-knotted wool vintage Beni M'Guild Moroccan rug features two vertical columns composed of diamond lozenge hourglass figures with open ends. The field is ornamented with with varying ambiguous motifs, all of them equally as elaborate. The Berber Moroccan rug is known for the symbolism that is so intricately woven throughout the rugs, maintaining motifs of femininity and the nature of a woman. The Star of Solomon is repeated throughout; a fertility symbol, indicating a birth. The geometric pattern appears to extend beyond, as if it was possibly shortened by the weaver's design purpose. Light fringe hangs from one side.
