Extraordinary Taznakht Rug: Black Field Central Medallion

This hand-woven rug is an authentic Taznakht Berber carpet (from the Ait Ouaouzguite region). It is a luxurious and dramatic piece, often valued for its strong, graphic aesthetic.

• Dominant Color: The central field is a dense, high-quality, short-to-medium pile of black or deep charcoal wool. This dark ground provides maximum contrast for the detailed motifs.
• Central Design: The focal point is a large, elaborate central medallion/lozenge, richly decorated in contrasting colors, including off-white/cream, saffron yellow, red, and blue. This central diamond shape is a powerful protective and feminine symbol in Amazigh culture.
• Aesthetic Details: The black field is punctuated by smaller, abstract protective motifs (possibly stylized figures or symbols of Baraka). The entire composition is framed by an intricate, layered border in vibrant colors like red, yellow, and black, which is highly complex and decorative.
• Texture: The density and low-to-medium pile are typical of Taznakht weaving, providing both durability and a silky touch.
