Description

This one-of-a-kind flatweave is attributed to Aït Ouagharda, a sub-tribe of the Aït Ouaouzguite at the foot of Jbel Siroua, south of Ouarzazate. Selected for texture, scale, and exact-piece character, with final color confirmed by video before payment is captured.

Materials

Wool from Aït Ouagharda, Morocco.

Construction

Handwoven as a flatweave. Dimensions: 160 × 102 cm (approx. 5'3" × 3'4"). Weight: 3.2 kg.

Condition

Sound throughout, with no holes, thin areas, stains or repairs. The selvedges are firm along both long edges. Both end fringes are complete and plied, with no losses. The raised relief stands at full height across the field without flattening. Natural dark fibre flecks appear throughout the undyed ivory ground.

Provenance

Aït Ouagharda is a sub-tribe of the Aït Ouaouzguite at the foot of Jbel Siroua in Ouarzazate Province. The attribution is based on sourcing: my family bought and recorded the piece as Aït Ouagharda, and the acquisition tag names the group in writing. The individual weaver is not named, so the provenance is listed as Attributed rather than Verified. Region: Ait Ougharda (Attributed) Tradition: Flatweave
