Caravan Medallions — Taznakht Kilim Runner
Caravan Medallions — Taznakht Kilim Runner (90 × 290 cm)
Handwoven in the Sirwa/Taznakht corridor, this corridor-length flatweave stages stacked diamond medallions in saffron, rust, slate, olive, sky and indigo, segmented by graphic black-and-white guard bands. The handle is supple yet durable; the low profile glides under doors and stands up to high traffic. Finished with short fringe at both ends and small side tassels at the panel joins.
Glyph Reading
The interlinked lozenges act as an Amazigh protection grid—gates of continuity and safe passage down the hall. Chevron and herringbone bands work as threshold guardians, pacing movement while the color spectrum uplifts mood. Energetically: directed flow, bright focus, grounded stability.
