Oued Zem Kilim (Salma)

This striking kilim from Oued Zem, a city in the Middle Atlas Mountain region of Morocco, was hand-loomed from cream coloured wool, on a cotton warp.  Darker wool was used for the beautiful embroidered Berber motifs.  It’s a light-weight piece that can be used on the floor, but also as a bed or sofa covering, or as a magnificent piece of art on an expansive wall.  Measures approximately 6’2” x 5’, with a 2” fringe on one end.
