Abstract

The art of the people reflects their lifestyle, and the textiles of Mount Amour, through their simplicity and roughness of the lines of their decoration, far from every imagination, give us a true picture of the life of the inhabitants of the mountainous Amour. It includes the Qusour Mountains to end in the Awlad Nael Mountains, i.e. a steppe area suitable for raising livestock. It is also a center for the knotted carpet industry.
