Moroccan Berber carpets of Taznakht
Being the oldest carpets manufactured in Morocco, the carpets of Taznakht, Zayane, and Hanbal, all of which made in the same region, are a source of pride for the country’s handicrafts both at home and abroad.
Originally woven in the High Atlas, the carpet of Taznakht is made of knots on two lines; their bottom is yellow with dense geometrical drawings which are red, dark green, or broken white.
Handel is a woven rug, lighter and less thick than the typical carpet. It is used as a cover, sofa, or decoration during national or private feasts. Sometimes, it is used instead of carpets. It is produced in Zayane, Zemmour, and Ouazguita.
Either genuine wool or good quality cotton is used to make this type of carpet. The threads are well spun and clean. The color of this carpet is red, yellow, green, black and brown. These colors are extracted from the plants existing in the Hanbel region.
Originally made in Berber regions, the hanbal contains patterns whose forms and features are inspired by nature and whose contours are inspired by the amazigh letters.
