A newer Beni Ouarain with very simple lattice pattern. Older Beni Ouarain carpets have more complex and detailed designs, often with motifs and a less symetrical layout. This is very think and heavy, and weighs about 25kgs!

We're waiting for a couple of older "Benis" to wing their way from Morocco to the UK, tracked down on our last trip there.
