With its diamond protection motifs and vivid colors, this Berber Moroccan rug is believed to symbolize eternity while protecting the human spirit from negative energy and shielding the human body from the elements. The hints of dyes that make their way into the rug's motifs and fringes have their own tale to tell. In Berber culture, the color red symbolizes strength and protection, blue symbolizes wisdom, yellow represents eternity and green stands for peace. While the patterns may seem whimsical and random – they are very significant to the rug weaver's life. The Berber women incorporate design elements from their personal experience into the rugs designs. The symbols are usually references to events and aspects of their daily life such as beliefs, birth, fertility, nature, femininity, life and spirituality. Part of the appeal to the savvy home owners and interior designers is the primitive charm in these Moroccan pieces. The minimalist and abstract forms seen in these rural runners represent the contemporary yet authentic creative and archaic spirit of tribal art. Our vintage Moroccan rugs and runners are fairly popular today for their decorative flexibility as compared to other styles of rugs. Measures: 04'01" x 06'04"
