Chaque tribu amazighe a son propre motif et son propre style de tapis. Les tapis de la tribu des Beni Ouarain sont minimalistes avec seulement des formes de diamant noir et un fond blanc, tandis que les tapis d’Azilal sont très colorés et artistiques, les tapis de la tribu des Beni M’guild sont colorés avec une couleur principale (orange, rose ou bleu). Vous pouvez également trouver d’autres tribus, chacune ayant son propre style comme les Boucherouites, les Boujad, les Talsint, les Zaiane.
In Morocco and the High Atlas region, weaving has an undeniable symbol. The geometric patterns and their combinations are perceived only by the person who produces them. Links can be found between women's tattoos and the painted or carved patterns on pottery and carpets. They are sometimes used to identify pets.
The stylised shapes that the weaver draws are part of her culture (path, river, stars, beetles, scorpions, flowers, mirror, cake, etc.) The teapot in profile, often in the middle of the carpet, is full of meaning and refers to the hospitality and friendliness dear to the inhabitants. Other shapes can also be found, such as lozenges, broken lines, squares, chevrons, crosses, inclined or straight struts, combs and stars.
