"Red Glyph Mosaic" hails from the vintage textile heritage of Zemmour, where Amazigh women wove together geometric memory and vibrant symbolism. Rendered in an imposing shade of brick red, this lightweight flatweave showcases a grid of nested squares, each filled with glyphic expression and sacred color play.
The rug’s composition—fine wool knotted into delicate kilim tapestry—offers both portability and presence. Originally woven for domestic utility and dowry heritage, these rugs also served as symbolic maps: each block a microcosm of tribal iconography, from fertility to journey, memory to guardianship.
This piece bears the intentional imperfections and textural softness of true Amazigh craftsmanship. It invites color into a muted interior, while speaking eloquently of a people whose stories live in weave and thread.
