A joyful Azilal woven in undyed ivory wool, animated by hand-drawn zig paths and chevrons in cobalt, saffron, vermilion, and green. The drawing is lively yet balanced, with short flatweave aprons and natural fringe—soft, plush, and easy to place in modern settings.

Glyph Reading

The serpentine zig is an Amazigh water path—movement, protection, and good passage. Chevrons echo mountain peaks and thresholds; scattered crosses/stars act as eyes/constellations, quietly guarding the field. Energetically, the composition keeps the room bright and flowing while centering joy and continuity.
