AVL Moroccan Beni Ourain style rug, 9'9'' x 6'4'', from the Berber tribes of the Beni Ourain.

The Beni Ourain people are thought to have lived in the Atlas Mountains from the ninth century AD, and the name refers to 17 Berber tribes who primarily live there. The thick pile-woven, cream-colored rugs are traditionally made from the wool of the ancient breed of Beni Ourain sheep and have thin black lines crisscrossing to form a diamond shape. That symbol is actually an ‘X’ to symbolize peace and harmony and are woven by Berber women from memory.
