Mbarka & Khadija’s Sun-Drenched Intricate Hanbel

Description

This Hanbelwaswoven by Mbarka & Khadija.

This style is called Hanbel. It’s woven with sheep’s wool from the local market. The colorsare created with natural ingredients like henna, pomegranate, saffron, indigo, alfalfa and mint.

While the majority of the weave is flat, the designs have a slightly higher pile, giving this piece texture and dimension.

Every design elementcomes entirely from the artisan’s imagination – thesymbols within this rugdepict protection from evil, strength, beauty and respect just to name a few.

This Hanbel spent almost a month hanging in the Moroccan sun which allows the colors of this rug be a true one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
