The Meaning Behind Moroccan Rug Symbols

Moroccan rugs are more than beautiful decor — they are woven stories full of ancient symbols. From diamonds representing protection and femininity to zig-zag lines symbolizing water and life, each pattern tells a tale of Berber identity. These motifs, passed down for generations, turn every rug into a cultural heirloom. At Bohemia Marrakech, we celebrate this symbolism by preserving its authenticity in each handmade piece.
