Amal Ait Ouaouzguit Kilim

A contemporary Ait Ouaouzguit Kilim (Hanbel) sheep’s wool rug, handwoven in a striking cherry red and deep blue palette. The design features a tribal wave pattern with checkered edges, offering a fresh, contemporary twist on the centuries-old Berber weaving tradition. This modern interpretation retains the exceptional craftsmanship and durability for which rugs from this region are celebrated.

Originating from the Ait Ouaouzguit tribal region in the Siroua mountain range (south-west of Ouarzazate, High Atlas, Southern Morocco), this rug highlights the artistry of Berber women weavers. Using wool from the indigenous Siroua sheep—renowned for its long, smooth fleece in pure white or black—the rug demonstrates both high-quality materials and meticulous artisan technique.

Handwoven using traditional knotting techniques, this contemporary Kilim is durable, timeless, and designed to last for decades.
