Five stepped diamond medallions run down the ivory field of this 300 × 200 cm Azilal wool rug. Deep green, blue, red, and ochre recur in the medallions, while slender zigzags in shifting colors separate them from rows of smaller motifs.

Provenance & Craft

From Atelier des Atlas, this handwoven Amazigh rug has a textured wool pile framed by a narrow taupe outline. The flatter cream end bands carry outlined diamonds and branching motifs. Cream fringe is visible at both short ends, with braided strands opening into loose tassels in the foreground.

Design Vocabulary

The central medallions alternate between green and blue outer edges, with stepped bands of color enclosing small contrasting centers. Compact cross-like figures repeat along either side, and a row of branching marks follows each long edge. On the near end band, pairs of outlined diamonds flank a dark green branching figure.
