A shimmering Beni Mguild henbel (flatwoven kilim) structured around an elongated diamond lattice whose geometry evokes constellations in motion. Indigo, silver-grey, teal, and saffron threads interlace across a dense ground, framed by narrow lozenge guards. This piece captures the quiet luminosity of the Middle Atlas at dusk.
