Scope note
Generally, the style and culture of the people of the tribal area and town of Mediouna, near Casablanca. Specifically, the style of rugs from this area, distinguished from rugs originating in a nearby urban carpet center, Rabat, in having fewer minor borders and a wider field than Rabat rugs, and having three or more octagonal medallions on the field. Traditional Mediouna rugs are no longer woven, but the style is copied.
