Beni Mguild, Tribal region in Middle Atlas Mountains, Morocco.
The Beni Mguild territory spans across three zones: the Azaghar Plateau, Middle Atlas ridges, and upper Moulouya valley steppes near Azrou.
The nine sub-tribes of Beni Mguild maintained nomadic traditions throughout centuries, adapting their crafts to the resources found in their mountainous environment.
The weavers create carpets with detailed lozenge patterns separated by kilim bands, incorporating burgundy red and brownish purple colors that represent their regional identity.
These rugs measure up to 4 centimeters in pile height, providing insulation during cold winters while serving both as sleeping mats and floor coverings.
Artisans consider the flat side as the front of the carpet, revealing intricate geometric designs when reversed from the deep pile surface.
