A Collection of Ait Ouaouzguite Rugs

The medium-pile rugs that are woven in the pre-Saharan foothills of the Moroccan High Atlas range are often knotted upon a soft yellow wool foundation.  This distinctive grouping features some old examples from the region around the town of Tazenakht.  These rugs are attributed to the weavers of the Ait Ouaouzguite Berbers and their sub-clans and neighbors. Although they sometimes employ formal elements of design, these rugs have an authentic tribal sensibility and are very well-made.
