Carpet c. 2000

This large, intricately woven carpet, titled "Carpet" was created by a Chichaoua Amazigh (Berber) artist around the year 2000. The piece displays a geometric, almost abstract design, featuring a grid of rectangles in shades of orange and brown. The artist's use of color and pattern creates a visual rhythm and movement, characteristic of Berber carpet weaving traditions, where carpets often serve as both functional and decorative elements within homes. This carpet, now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art’s collection, exemplifies the artistry and cultural significance of Berber textile traditions.
