The Fertility Lozenge – Beni Ourain Atlas Rug of Womanhood & Lineage
The Fertility Lozenge – Beni Ourain Atlas Rug of Womanhood & Lineage
The Fertility Lozenge is a ceremonial Beni Ourain piece, woven in the Central Middle Atlas highlands where loomwork is an extension of life’s rituals. This rug centers on the iconic diamond glyph—a sacred Amazigh symbol tied to the womb, female lineage, and protection of ancestry.
Formed in raw sheep wool and left undyed, its black lozenge figures float rhythmically on a warm ivory field, creating a visual pulse that evokes both migration and maternal repetition. This minimalist yet storied composition speaks to fertility not only as reproduction—but as generational continuity, care, and creative abundance.
Featured Glyphs & Motifs
- Diamond (Lozenge): fertility, womb, maternal axis, and womanhood in Amazigh symbology.
