This is an exquisite, hand-woven Taznakht runner, originating from the Southern High Atlas Mountains (Ait Ouaouzguite). It is celebrated for its precise geometric arrangement and the masterful blend of different weaving textures in each block.
-
Style and Origin: Taznakht Runner (Ait Ouaouzguite / Glaoui style). Known for its “patchwork” or checkerboard layout that combines flat-weave and knotted pile sections.
-
Design Motif: A tightly structured checkerboard of individual geometric squares framed by thin, multicolored borders. Each block contains a unique pattern, including diamonds, stripes, chevrons, and small symbolic motifs. The contrasting colors of the blocks create a vibrant, dynamic mosaic.
-
Color Palette: A bold, high-contrast palette dominated by Deep Blue, Rich Red/Pink, and Bright Yellow/Gold, accented by black, white, and subtle green.
-
Texture and Material: The runner features a mixed-pile texture, with some blocks being dense pile and others being flat-woven (kilim), offering a rich, dimensional feel. It is made from high-quality wool.
