Aït Zayane Guardian Motif — Little Atlas Rug in Wool

Aït Zayane Guardian Motif — Little Atlas Rug in Wool

A handcrafted Aït Zayane rug in pure Atlas wool, scaled intentionally for children’s rooms and intimate spaces. This piece features a traditional guardian emblem framed by deep red and charcoal bands — a symbolic structure rooted in the tribe’s protective weaving language. In Amazigh tradition, such central motifs serve as quiet talismans, offering harmony and grounded energy within the home.

Its compact size and plush pile make it ideal for nurseries, Montessori play areas, reading nooks, and small bedside arrangements. Soft underfoot and visually calm, it introduces heritage into contemporary spaces with gentle sophistication.
