Ait Bou, Morocco
The field is organized into horizontal bands of small rectangular blocks in yellow, green, gold, and black, separated by rows of red ground crossed with zigzag chevrons in cream. A narrow patterned border frames the composition, and the lower edge shows a plain gold-orange band finished with loosely knotted warp fringe.
A shaggy ivory field is overlaid with a repeating brown diamond lattice, the lines drawn loosely and unevenly by hand. Small dark accent marks appear scattered within several of the diamond cells, and the plain ivory ground is left otherwise open. Narrow dark brown bands interrupt the selvage at intervals on both sides, with a plain woven border at top and bottom finishing in loose ivory fringe.
The field is filled edge to edge with a dense allover lattice of small triangles alternating brown and ivory, creating a shimmering checkerboard effect across the entire surface. A narrow zigzag line in brown and ivory frames the field, with a plain notched border at top and bottom, and loose warp fringe visible at both ends.
An open ivory field is overlaid with a repeating lattice of thin brown diamonds, spare enough that the pale ground remains the dominant presence. Narrow dark brown bands close the top and bottom edges, giving way to a plain fringe at each end. The diamonds are drawn freehand, with slight irregularities in spacing and angle across the length.
A long, narrow runner in undyed ivory with sparse brown line-work scattered across the field. The upper portion carries loosely drawn zigzags and diamond lattices interspersed with scattered dots, giving way lower down to a sequence of horizontal bands - solid lines, dashed lines, and rows of small squares - that divide the lower third into distinct registers. The palette stays entirely within cream and warm brown, with no border framing the composition.
An open, undyed ivory field is anchored by a single brown totemic figure at its center, a triangular-skirted form topped with a cross-bar head, rendered in the same deep brown used for the surrounding motifs. Scattered around it are three simple vertical bars, small diamond and chevron shapes near the sides, and faint touches of red, yellow, and blue picked into the wool as accents. Zigzag bands in brown run along the top and bottom edges, framing the composition, with plain woven end-finishes and long warp fringe left at top and bottom.
An unbordered field in undyed ivory pile carries a lattice of brown diamonds formed by intersecting diagonal lines, their edges softened by the long, shaggy surface. Small irregular flecks of brown and rust appear scattered within the diamonds, some centered, others off-axis, giving the grid a loose, hand-drawn quality. The composition runs uninterrupted to the outer edges, with no framing border, leaving the diamond trellis to stand alone against the pale ground.
An open, sandy-toned field is overlaid with a continuous lattice of thin red diamonds running edge to edge with no central medallion or border to interrupt it. The high, uneven pile catches light unevenly, giving the ground a mottled, cloud-like variation between beige and pale ochre. Both ends finish in loosely knotted fringe, with a narrow band of deeper plum-red visible along the top selvage.
The field is covered edge to edge by an all-over lattice of ivory diamonds set against a mottled ground that shifts from deep olive at the top to warmer tan and brown tones below, with scattered flecks of rust and blue-gray within the pile. A plain narrow band frames the field on all sides, and at the top edge a striped flat-woven finish in cream and burgundy is visible above the fringe, with matching fringe left loose at both ends.
An open cream ground carries an overall lattice of brown diamonds, drawn in a loose, hand-felt line that shifts slightly from row to row. A single narrow band near the top edge, patterned in small polychrome checks, offers the only concentrated color, framed by plain outer guard stripes. The piece ends in long, undyed knotted fringe at the top.
