Abstract

The article presents information on Amazigh textiles and dress, made by Berber women in Morocco. Amazigh or Berber women demonstrate the esteem, respect, and status accorded to motherhood by incorporating fertility symbolism into their woven carpets, clothing, tattoos, and hairstyles. Amazigh arts, therefore, are metaphors of motherhood, demonstrating the crucial role women play in propagating and preserving Amazigh identity.
