Berber

An ivory ground is overlaid with an irregular grid of stepped brown-black lines interwoven with thinner magenta-pink lines, forming an offset brick-like lattice that runs the full length of the field without a distinct border. Scattered flecks of color break the plain ground between the lines, and both ends finish in loose, undyed fringe with a narrow patterned band just inside the top edge.

Berber

An open, borderless field in a pale ivory ground is scattered with an irregular, all-over mosaic of small blocks in rust orange, seafoam green, lavender, and near-black brown. The pattern reads as a loose, unbounded scatter rather than a repeating motif, thinning toward the plain selvages and unfinished warp fringes at top and bottom. No border, medallion, or inscription is present, leaving the field wholly abstract.

Berber

An unbordered, open field in a pale ivory ground scattered with irregular horizontal bands of small rectangular and square marks in rust, terracotta, dusty pink, sage green, and brown. The density of these marks increases toward the lower portion, thickening into a mottled, almost speckled cluster near the bottom edge, while the upper field remains sparser with looser rows of color. No central medallion or corner devices are visible; the composition reads as a freehand, all-over scatter rather than a symmetrical design.

Berber

An open, undyed cream ground is crossed by a continuous lattice of brown-black diamonds, drawn in a loose, hand-drawn line that wavers slightly from row to row. The composition runs edge to edge with no border, letting the diamonds run off the sides, and the piece finishes in flat plain-woven bands at top and bottom with loosely knotted fringe below.

Beni Ourain

An ivory ground carries a sparse, freehand drawing in warm brown line: a row of triangular peaks along the top gives way to a diamond lattice that loosens into long, irregular vertical lines running the length of the field, echoed by a second band of small triangles near the bottom. A few tiny isolated motifs sit low in the field, unevenly spaced, with plain undyed selvages and warp fringe left bare at both ends.

Berber

An ivory ground carries an all-over lattice of dark brown diamonds across the upper field, giving way lower down to a series of horizontal registers filled with small dashes, dots, and hooked diamond forms. A narrow band near the base holds a row of open diamond medallions above a zigzag line, framed simply by the plain selvedges and flat woven fringe at both ends.

Berber

An ivory ground is organized into horizontal registers separated by thin brown bands, each filled with small figural and geometric motifs worked in dark brown against the pale surface. Repeated stick figures, diamonds, chevrons, small vessel-like shapes, checkerboard blocks, and rows of X's and hooks appear in loose, hand-drawn rhythm across the bands, with occasional flecks of red and blue thread breaking the otherwise neutral palette.

Berber

An open ivory field is overlaid with a loose grid of dark charcoal lines, most running vertically with a few irregular horizontal crossbars. The leftmost line breaks into a zigzagging, tooth-like pattern rather than staying straight, giving that edge a more animated rhythm than the rest of the composition. The rug has no separate border, letting the grid run to the edges, and it finishes in plain undyed fringe at top and bottom.

Berber

An open ivory field is overlaid with a loosely drawn diamond lattice rendered in thin, slightly irregular brown and grey lines, the trellis loosening in places into freehand wandering strokes. Narrow flat-woven bands in brown and cream close the top and bottom, with warp fringe left exposed at each end. The plain, unadorned sides read as a deliberately spare frame around the linear field.
