Atlas Peaks — Taznakht Stacked-Triangle Kilim (140 × 180 cm)
Handwoven in the Sirwa/Taznakht corridor, this flatweave kilim stages a column of stacked mountain triangles in saffron, persimmon, indigo, olive and sky, framed by a rich carmine border. The handle is supple yet durable and the low profile slides easily under doors and dining chairs—high-traffic ready without compromising craft.

Triangles reference Atlas peaks, tents and guardianship; the small boat/eye registers signal safe passage and good fortune. The border performs as a protective threshold.
