Primitive, tribal, with an abstract minimalism, Berber carpets from the Mrirt region are stark and stunning in their raw simplicity. Made from 100% pure sheep wool, the grey ground is sparsely peppered with black motifs strongly influenced by the ancient Berber script, Tifinagh. As seen in this thick pile carpet, the characters in Tifinagh reflect a simple geometry of corners, circles, triangles and dots. A carpet such as this is reminiscent of an ancient nomadic culture and a time long forgotten.
