Extraordinary Taznakht Rug: Zigzag & Diamond Runner

This hand-woven rug is an authentic Taznakht Berber carpet, prized for its dense geometric patterns and its powerful combination of contrasting bands.

• Dominant Colors: The rug’s field is strategically divided by wide horizontal bands of natural white/cream wool and dense, intricately patterned bands of deep red, saffron yellow, navy blue, and black. The side edges are tightly finished in a vibrant saffron/orange color, a distinct Taznakht feature.
• Design: The elongated field is organized into repeating horizontal sections filled with complex motifs:
  • Zigzag/Chevron: Wide bands feature bold, multi-colored chevron patterns, often representing the zigzag of water or a protective barrier.
  • Diamond Lattice: The red and blue bands contain dense, intricate networks of diamond lozenges (symbols of protection and femininity), showing a very high knot count or dense flatweave.
  • Symbolic Motifs: The white bands are sparsely decorated with small, symbolic glyphs and geometric figures.
• Aesthetic: The rug showcases a mixed-weave technique, combining flatweave with short-pile or embroidered knots for durability and complexity. Its narrow shape and rich pattern make it an excellent runner.
