The Ouedhref or Mergoum Ouedhref is a special variation of the Mergoum from
the South of Tunisia. Like other mergoums, the Ouedhref is a short hair handwoven rug made of pure sheep wool. The traditional Ouedhrefs have
triangular and rhomboid motives, much as the traditional Tunisian Kilims. A famous variation is the Jendar, which associates Berber motives from the
South of Tunisia. The fine Ghani versions are characterized by the use of at least three colours, giving them a somewhat richer texture. |
