This one-of-a-kind Talsint rug comes from the Figuig province, where the Ait Bou Ichaouen tribe lives. They are named for the town of Talsint, which is a rural town in Northeastern Morocco close to the Algerian border. These rugs are characterized by bold colors (purples, blues & saffrons) and the flat weave tufted rugs (like the one you bought) are made for summer use.
