A distinguished Aït Zayane rug from the Middle Atlas, woven with a commanding central star medallion flanked by mirrored motifs and enclosed by a patterned border. Rendered in earthy brown tones with indigo-blue highlights, the design reflects Amazigh traditions of symmetry, guardianship, and cosmological order.
