Glaoua

The field is organized in horizontal bands running the full width of the piece, alternating between plain ivory grounds, solid dark brown stripes, and ochre-gold registers filled with rows of small diamonds and star-like motifs. Scattered star medallions in rust and pale blue-gray appear against the ivory bands, while the dark brown stripes carry small pale medallions spaced evenly across them. Narrow patterned borders of tick marks and tiny diamonds frame the composition along the outer edges, with loose warp fringe visible at both ends.

Glaoua

The field is arranged in horizontal bands alternating cream, brown, and taupe grounds, each populated with small scattered motifs — diamonds, ladders, hooked forms, and star shapes worked in orange, lavender, mint green, and pale yellow. A narrow patterned border of stacked rectangles in matching colors frames the composition, and the piece finishes with plain brown end panels and a loose knotted fringe at top and bottom.

Beni Ourain

An open ivory field is overlaid with a loosely drawn brown diamond lattice, the lines slightly irregular and freehand in character. Small diamond-shaped accents in dark brown and coral punctuate the lattice intersections, growing denser and more solidly colored toward the lower third of the field. Narrow coral bands frame the top and bottom edges, giving way to a plain fringe.

Glaoua

The field is organized entirely in horizontal bands, alternating plain stripes of camel, rose, ivory, pale blue and ochre with a few wider registers carrying pile motifs in low relief. Within these accent bands appear diamonds, triangles and quartered roundels in muted red, grey, gold and brown, set against the lighter ground of the stripe. Both ends finish in loose warp fringe, and the composition reads as a continuous sequence of stripes without a distinct border.

Haik Kilim

The field is composed entirely of horizontal bands running the full width of the piece, alternating deep brown, ivory, ochre, coral, and sage green. Several of the plain bands carry small scattered dot motifs in contrasting tones, while the narrower dark stripes are patterned with fine zigzag and diamond lattice work. There is no distinct border framing the composition; the striping simply runs to the fringed ends at top and bottom.

Azilal

An ivory ground is divided into irregular horizontal bands separated by lines in orange, black, pink, and green, each register filled with a loose vocabulary of sketched figures - zigzags, triangles, diamonds, small human forms, and scattered diamond pendants. Colors shift freely between deep orange, pale pink, olive green, and dark brown across the panels, with no single motif repeated exactly the same way twice. A narrow orange guard frames three sides while the unwoven warp fringe is left plain at the top.

Moroccan Kilim

A long narrow runner without a distinct border, its ground given over to horizontal bands of striated brown, taupe, and undyed ivory that shift like sedimentary layers along the length. Thin threads of orange and mustard yellow break the earth tones at scattered intervals, and the ends finish in loose, undyed fringe.

Haik Kilim

The field is composed entirely of horizontal bands running the full width, alternating in coral red, lavender, sage green, taupe, and a single deep charcoal stripe near the lower edge with a band of pink just above it. Many of the paler stripes carry small scattered motifs worked in contrasting thread - tiny diamonds, chevrons, wavy lines, and rows of small figures - while a few stripes are left plain and undecorated. Loose warp fringe is visible at both the top and bottom edges, and there is no separate border framing the composition.

Glaoua

The field is organized in horizontal registers running the length of the piece, alternating flat banded stripes with textured pile sections. Zigzag chevron rows and rows of small triangles in orange, purple, and cream punctuate broad stripes of orange, salmon, pale green, and lavender, while two wider bands show a dense, irregular pile in mixed multicolor flecks. There is no border framing the composition, the stripes running edge to edge, and loose warp fringe is visible at the lower end.

Haik Kilim

The field is a plain brown ground crossed by narrow horizontal bands in pale teal, with a tan stripe at the top edge. Scattered across the surface are small outline diamonds and lozenge shapes rendered as thin embroidered contours in pink, rose, and dark plum, irregularly spaced rather than arranged in a repeating pattern. Fringe survives at both ends, with a faint red line running along the lower edge before the fringe begins.
