Editing Berbers (section)

The Berber tribes traditionally weave [[kilim]]s ([[tapestry]]-woven carpets), whose designs maintain the traditional appearance and distinctiveness of the region of origin of each tribe, which has in effect its own repertoire of drawings. The [[plain weave]] textile designs include a wide variety of stripes and, more rarely, geometrical patterns such as triangles and diamonds. Additional decorations such as sequins or fringes, are typical of Berber weave in Morocco. The nomadic and semi-nomadic lifestyle of the Berbers is suitable for weaving kilims.<ref>ABC Amazigh.

[[Jewellery of the Berber cultures|Traditional Berber jewelry]] is a style of [[jewellery]], originally worn by women and girls of different rural Berber groups of Morocco, Algeria and other North African countries. It is usually made of silver and includes elaborate triangular plates and pins, originally used as clasps for garments, necklaces, bracelets, earrings and similar items. In modern times, these types of jewellery are produced also in contemporary variations and sold as a commercial product of ethnic-style [[fashion]].<ref>{{cite web |last=Stewart |first=Courtney A. |title=Remarkable Berber Jewelry at The Met |url=https://www.metmuseum.org/blogs/collection-insights/2017/berber-jewelry-morocco-algeria |date=4 December 2017 |website=[[Metropolitan Museum of Art]] |access-date=30 January 2021}}</ref>

From June to September 2007, the [[Musée du Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac|Musée du quai Branly]] in Paris showed an exhibition on the history of traditional ceramics in Algeria, titled ''Ideqqi, art de femmes berbères'' (Art of Berber women), and published an accompanying catalogue. The exhibition highlighted the originality of these pieces compared to urban [[earthenware]], underlining their African roots as well as close relationship with the ancient art of the Mediterranean.<ref name="Vivier 2007 p.">{{cite book|author=Vivier|display-authors= etal|first=Marie-France|title=Ideqqi, art de femmes berbères|publisher=Musée du quai Branly|year=2007|isbn=978-2-915133-59-2|publication-place=Paris|page=|language=fr|oclc=147638431}}</ref><gallery class="center" mode="packed">
