Jaryan, meaning "flow" in Darija, perfectly captures the dynamic movement and vibrancy of this vintage rug. It was handwoven by artisans in the Azilal region of the central High Atlas Mountains.
The design features a natural brown wool base with bright red/orange diamond line motifs, symbolizing connection and movement.
The artistry of Azilal rugs is in the ability to combine bold and bright geometric patterns with organic elements, creating pieces that feel unpredictable and inspiring. This particular rug, with its bright motifs in contrast with the raw brown tones of the natural sheep's wool, give a feeling of electric energy within the dormant rocky terrain of the Atlas Mountains.

Deeper Meaning of the Motifs: The use of geometric shapes like diamonds in Berber rugs often has spiritual and protective meanings. These shapes are believed to invoke protection from negative energy and offer a connection to the earth and natural forces. The bright red, green, and orange tones represent vitality, fertility, and growth in Berber symbolism.
