Misan is a unique Beni Ourain rug. It is actually from a subtribe named the Marmoucha tribe, and features an intricate pattern and interesting design. Beni Ourains are often known for their dense pile and reversible design. This rug was higher pile at one time, but has been worn down and distressed with decades of use. It was woven in the Middle Atlas mountain region in Morocco, where temperatures can change drastically. These pieces are significant to Berber culture as the higher pile kept members of the family warm. Traditionally these rugs were not used purely for decorative purposes, but more commonly as blankets or to sleep on!
