A genuine monochromatic sleeping rug, 1970s or slightly older, with an attractive color variation in the open blue field. Light colored stripes and dotted lines run horizontally across the royal blue field, occasionally interspersed with very few red knots, adding to the overall look. Due to market demand, the blue monochrome rugs are still made in rural productions, but the abrash is usually less vivid or non-existent in contrast to such older examples. Please note: The carpet shows a few barely noticeable repairs.

The tribal area of the BENI MGUILD is located in the central portion of the Middle Atlas with Azrou as the largest town in the territory. The Beni Mguild tribe is split up into nine sub-tribes divided into three zones: the Azaghar Plateau region, the ridges of the Middle Atlas proper, and the steppes of the upper Moulouya valley. The knotted rugs of the Beni Mguild have a high pile height (up to 4 cm/ 1.57 in) with a dense structure if used as sleeping rugs. The ones used as floor coverings for festive occasions are lower in pile and even denser in structure. The colors are usually brownish purple or burgundy red, white ones are highly unusual, and in rarer cases also blue or green. The rugs of the Beni Mtir, Ait Seghrouchène (with a dark background), Zayan, Guigou and Ait Sgougou are most often confused with the ones of the Beni Mguild.
