Yirat

Meaning: The lion 

Material: Real Moroccan natural leather, vintage wool Berber Zayan Hanbel, sequins.

Description: Hanbel is made through a flat-weave process whereby the weaver threads the weft back and forth through the wrap until the rug or pillow is finished.

Symbology: Diamond shapes (representing women’s womb) surrounded by ladders and hatched lines (representing the male virility). Sequins were added to protect from the evil eye (they are tiny mirrors that reflect negative energies away from the owner).
