Ait Zayane Henbel Kilim — Labyrinth Bands & Crossed Medallions

Graphic Ait Zayane henbel (flatwoven kilim) articulated in alternating registers: Kufic-like labyrinth meanders, crossed lozenge medallions, and brocaded cartouches in emerald, saffron, and carmine. Saw-tooth guards and reflective sequin accents animate the field, a hallmark of High/Middle Atlas ceremonial textiles.
