Dinosaur rug

We’re so happy when we come across treasures like this rug featuring a dinosaur and other funny little creatures! The first of this series was woven by Fadma, who is fond of dinosaurs and the rug was inspired by the fossilised dino footprints not far from her village… (they really are there, but we’re not quite convinced they belonged to dinosaurs 🙂 ) Since then we have had several similar ones made for us, all a little different. For example, this dinosaur has rather short legs.

There are several surreal creatures on this rug: a pig with enormous lips, a lion, the devil itself, a dog, a tree reaching to the sky and a deer with a heart. Fadma didn’t tell us more about the inspiration for this design, but we’re still in love with this rug. How cool is she for weaving such a funky piece?!

** All our rugs are carefully hand-knotted. Each piece is completely unique, bearing the individual self-expression of the weaver woman as well as the weaving traditions of the tribes of the Atlas Mountains. We handpick each and every piece of our collection. Please note that Berber rugs are handcrafted products so you may spot minor imperfections. We think this only adds to their character and charm.
