 * SYMBOLS

Symbols
Amazigh culture (the Berber word for the Berber - it means "the people") is based on a strongly nomadic, shamanistic ancestry. For that reason, their arts are mostly the portable and useful kind, such as weaving rugs and baskets. However, the symbology put into their works has mystical significance within the culture. The meaning of a work is equally as important as its skill.
