Itzer’s Patterned Grid

This vintage rug comes from Itzer, a village in Morocco’s Middle Atlas Mountains, where weaving is both a craft and a language.Hand-knotted from 100% live wool, the rug features a structured grid of Amazigh symbols—including stars, crosses, and diamonds—each believed to represent protection, fertility, or spiritual harmony. Woven with intention, each motif carries meaning passed down through generations.Its vivid palette—saturated reds, golden saffron, and earthy browns—is achieved through natural dyes made from madder root, henna, and pomegranate skin. The result is a richly layered composition that reflects both ancestral knowledge and timeless artistry
