Middle Atlas Boujaad artisans render the Zanafi hanbel idiom with a bold, axial composition: a central indigo band edged by serrated “sun-spine” triangles marches across an undyed ivory field. End bands in checked stitchwork and soft tassels punctuate the design—graphic, disciplined, unmistakably Amazigh.
