Boujaad–Zanafi Serrated Lattice — Atlas Green Ombré

Middle Atlas Boujaad artisans execute the Zanafi hanbel idiom in an atmospheric field of moss, sage, and teal—an Atlas green ombré—traversed by a dotted diamond lattice. Crisp ivory serrated flanks and embroidered end bands frame the composition: graphic, ceremonial, unmistakably Amazigh.

Weave & Touch

Traditional flat-weave (kilim/hanbel) ground using interlocked tapestry to build the chromatic gradient; the raised dotted lattice is formed with supplementary-weft brocade / over-stitch. Firm yet supple handle, largely reversible with a discreet mid-loom join authentic to wide formats.
