Boujaad–Zanafi Serrated Axis Kilim — Indigo Column & Cedar Flanks on Sand

Middle Atlas Boujaad workshop in the Zanafi hanbel idiom: a clean sand ground bisected by a midnight-indigo vertical axis with stepped, serrated edges and cedar-green counterforms. A dotted end band and soft tassels complete a composition that is graphic, disciplined, and unmistakably Amazigh.

Weave & Touch

Traditional flat-weave (kilim/hanbel) with interlocked tapestry color changes to achieve the crisp serrations; dotted embroidery along the end band. The handle is firm yet supple and largely reversible—engineered for dining zones and high-traffic salons.
