Here is the meaning of the main symbols of the Rug Kilim Douja 121x200 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.
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 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 checkerboard
The checkerboard represents cultivated fields that symbolise the fertility of the land.
The butterfly
The butterfly symbolises feminine beauty, resurrection and metamorphosis. It is also associated with the development of the foetus in the womb.
The latticework of triangles
Expression of fullness, fertility and nurturing strength.
The hourglass
Meaning 1: the eternal fall of time and its reversal: the return to the origins.
Meaning 2: human form (bust and lower body).
Meaning 3: the mating of man and woman.
