Here is the meaning of the main symbols of the Rug Kilim Sahline 135x256 cm :
Note: Originally, the symbolism of Berber signs refers mainly to life, the fertility of the couple and the fertility of the land. Over the centuries, the meanings have often evolved or overlapped.
Blue
Blue is the colour of wisdom and the path of dreams in the Berber tradition. It is also the colour of water, the universal source of life.
The rhombus
The diamond is the Berber carpet pattern par excellence. It appears on almost all Berber carpets in the Maghreb, whether in Tunisia, Algeria or Morocco.
Meaning 1: The diamond is an ancient Berber feminine symbol that represents woman and her beauty. It represents the womb of life, the uterus or the woman's body as a whole.
Meaning 2: The eye or the mirror: what reflects or allows one to see.The representation of the eye is in the Berber culture a way of countering the evil eye. In the same way, the mirror reflects the evil eye against itself.
The zigzag
The zigzag is one of the most present Berber signs on Tunisian and Moroccan carpets.
Meaning 1: Male symbol of fertility and fecundity.
Meaning 2: Image of water, symbol of life and matrix of existence. Image of the waves of the generating sea or of the lightning bringing rain.
Meaning 3: Image of the serpent that represents the lunar seasons and represents by its moult the renewal of life and the resurrection of nature, the cycle of seasons full of promise. The snake also represents the union of the opposites male and female, sky and earth, night and day...
The double comb
Berber carpets are woven entirely by hand without shuttle or spindle. The only accessory used by the craftswomen is the weaving comb which is used to pack the wool of the carpet. It is therefore a strong symbol associated with creativity and fecundity. It is often represented on Tunisian carpets, especially on woven carpets such as kilims and margoums.
The weaving combs of this carpet are doubled, which refers to the tree of life and its roots symbolising life, knowledge and wealth.
The comb
The comb is used to make a woman attractive and is therefore associated with the notions of procreation and fertility.
