Beni Mguild Henbel Kilim — Lattice of Jewels

A luminous Beni Mguild henbel (flatwoven kilim) whose tight diamond lattice stages gem-like medallions in lapis, teal, saffron, and olive. Saw-tooth guards and stepped lozenges articulate the field and borders—an elegant transcription of Middle Atlas geometry in travel-light format.
