Beni Mguild Henbel Kilim — Crossed Lozenge Bands

A graphic Beni Mguild henbel (flatwoven kilim) organized in rhythmic band registers: crossed lozenge chains, zigzag tracers, and bead-like dotted lines that animate burgundy grounds between teal, emerald, and ember-orange stripes. Slim guard borders frame the field, ending in dark tassels that echo the border wefts.

Weave & Touch
