AIT SEGHROUCHENE N° 505AS
A small rug, 1990s-2000s, with an eye-catching free flowing design in different shades of undyed wool. It is a very peculiar piece, not only because of its design but also because of the looped pile. According to the buyer it was found in Bouzemlane, in the Ait Seghrouchène territory. The Ait Seghrouchène are divided into three subgroups and their territories are not adjacent. Every group has an own pattern language that differs from the others. This rug is from the northern group. However, this composition bears almost no resemblance with the original pattern canon of the region.
6'3 × 3'7"
The AIT SEGHROUCHENE are divided into three geographically separated groups: Ait Seghrouchene d’Imouzzer, Ait Seghrouchene de Sidi Ali and Ait Seghrouchene de Harira. Each of these groups have a distinctive pattern language.
