Small animal rug in vibrant colours
This joyful, small rug was made as part of a series, but of course it also looks great on its own, for example, in small room or hung on the wall (not only in the kids room!). It is adorned with stylized animals and a tree of life using a vibrant pink and green colour palette.
It is hand knotted using well-spun natural and dyed wool yarn and is medium-pile.
** All our rugs are unique and personally selected. They reflect the imprint of the Amazigh weaving tradition, the individual creativity of their weavers, and the subtle imperfections of hand weaving. We believe these qualities are what give them their character and charm. The sizes mentioned above do not include fringes.
