Taznakht Serrated Medallion — Ember Field with Saffron Guard

High Atlas Taznakht pile rug, centered by a grand serrated lozenge on an ember-red field. A nested stepped medallion glows in ivory and cobalt, while the four spandrels are packed with lattice diamonds and cross rosettes—an encyclopedic display of Amazigh sign and color. The saffron-orange border with guard blossoms gives a ceremonial frame to the composition.
