A Beni Mguild rug, 1990s, found near Azrou, with a stepped lozenge network in red on a blue background with abrash. While the pattern is rather evenly structured, the combination of the primary colors in nuanced variations, is what makes this piece striking. There is a visual interplay between the red and blue, as their hues vary rather than remain consistent. Consequently, in some areas of the rug, the red contrasts sharply with the blue background, while in others, the contrast is more muted.

The tribal area of the BENI MGUILD is located in the central portion of the Middle Atlas with Azrou as the largest town in the territory. The Beni Mguild tribe is split up into nine sub-tribes divided into three zones: the Azaghar Plateau region, the ridges of the Middle Atlas proper, and the steppes of the upper Moulouya valley. The knotted rugs of the Beni Mguild have a high pile height (up to 4 cm/ 1.57 in) with a dense structure if used as sleeping rugs. The ones used as floor coverings for festive occasions are lower in pile and even denser in structure. The colors are usually brownish purple or burgundy red, white ones are highly unusual, and in rarer cases also blue or green. The rugs of the Beni Mtir, Ait Seghrouchène (with a dark background), Zayan, Guigou and Ait Sgougou are most often confused with the ones of the Beni Mguild.
