A finely woven vintage Mejjat Berber Haik kilim, crafted by the Mejjat tribe in the southernmost part of Morocco’s Anti-Atlas region near the Sahara desert. These kilims are known for their blanket-like texture and unique iconography, with weft-directed patterns that converge towards the centre, evoking the imagery of desert sands.
They typically feature a full spectrum of shades created by alternating clusters of natural, undyed wool with dark goat hair, adding distinctive dynamics to the composition.
