Mahal

The rust-red field is organized by an ivory lattice of scrolling, palmette-tipped vines forming interlocking medallion-like compartments, each filled with small rosettes in blue, gold, and cream. A steel-blue main border carries a repeating palmette-and-vine pattern between narrower guard stripes of stylized floral trellis work in matching tones. The palette throughout is consistent - brick red, indigo, ivory, and muted gold - with the corner devices resolving cleanly into the border design.

Berber

The field is composed entirely of narrow horizontal bands in muted olive-brown and cream, each stripe edged with a fine zigzag line running the width of the piece. A few bands break the rhythm with flecks of rust, orange, and white, adding brief color incident to an otherwise subdued striping. Fringe survives unevenly at both ends, heavier and looser at the lower right corner, with no border framing the composition beyond the stripes themselves.
