This is an exquisite, hand-woven Taznakht (Ait Ouaouzguite) runner from the Southern High Atlas, celebrated for its unique Glaoui construction, which blends different weave types (flatweave and knotted pile) and intricate patterns into defined geometric blocks.
-
Style and Origin: Taznakht / Glaoui Runner. Known for its checkerboard-like, mosaic composition where no two squares are exactly alike.

Design Motif: A structured, all-over patchwork of rectangular and square blocks, framed by thin outlines. The blocks contain a variety of small-scale patterns, including dense stripes, diamond motifs, zigzag lines, and traditional Berber symbols. A central panel with a clear medallion motif (the X-pattern) serves as a focal point.
-
Color Palette: A rich and elegant palette dominated by deep, saturated colors: Navy Blue, Dusty Rose/Burgundy, Gray, and Orange, with accents of white, black, and green.

Texture and Material: It features a 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.
