This is an extraordinary, hand-woven Taznakht (Ait Ouaouzguite) carpet from the Southern High Atlas, celebrated for its unique Glaoui construction. This masterful technique involves blending different weave types (flatweave/kilim, knotted pile, and embroidery) within defined geometric blocks, creating a stunning 3D texture.

• Style and Origin: Taznakht / Glaoui (Southern High Atlas). This style is a pinnacle of Moroccan weaving, known for its “patchwork” or checkerboard layout that showcases the weaver’s entire repertoire of skills.

• Design Motif: A highly structured, all-over patchwork of individual rectangular blocks, each containing a unique and complex geometric pattern. The design is anchored by a large, central medallion (in dusty pink/red) which is itself framed by a wide, striking Royal Blue inner border. This is surrounded by an outer ring of smaller, distinct motifs, including diamonds, chevrons, and symbolic figures.

• Color Palette: A rich and vibrant palette, dominated by Royal Blue / Indigo and Dusty Pink / Red, accented with burnt orange, saffron yellow, cream, and black.

• Texture and Material: It features a dynamic mixed-pile texture, with some blocks being dense pile and others being flat-woven (kilim), providing a rich, dimensional feel. It is made from high-quality wool.
