Extraordinary Taznakht Rug: White Field Geometric Medallions

This hand-woven rug is an authentic Taznakht Berber carpet, highly prized for its dense geometric patterns and its dynamic use of color against a neutral wool background.

• Dominant Colors: The field is defined by alternating broad horizontal bands of natural white/cream wool and dense sections of rich color, including deep crimson red, saffron yellow, navy blue, and black. The side borders are tightly finished in a vibrant saffron/orange color, a signature of the Taznakht area, visible in the close-up.
• Design: The runner’s field is strictly organized into horizontal bands:
  • Medallion Panels: Two prominent sections feature large, richly detailed diamond lozenges (symbols of protection), intricately filled with colorful micro-patterns.
  • Stripes & Symbols: These bands are separated by pure white wool sections, which host rows of smaller, symbolic motifs (Tamazight glyphs, arrows, and small geometric shapes).
• Aesthetic: The weaving employs a mixed technique, combining flatweave sections with short-pile or embroidered knots for the detailed designs. This density and complexity make it a superior example of tribal art.
