Tuareg Mat

The field is organized into vertical panels of straw-toned natural fiber, each divided by narrow banded stripes worked in dark brown and rust with small geometric zigzag patterning. A wider central stripe in the same palette marks the vertical axis, slightly off-center in its spacing from the flanking panels. Four small red X-shaped marks appear scattered across the plain panels, unevenly placed near the corners, and the top and bottom edges finish in loose, dark fringe.

Tuareg Mat

An open-weave flatwoven ground appears here as a shimmering field of vertical striations in tones of tan, ochre, and rust, the fine gaps between warp lines creating an almost watered, moiré-like optical shift across the surface. Narrow reserved bands run the length of the field, subtly dividing the ground into columns without disrupting its overall unity. A slim border in deeper brown frames the piece, with the fringed selvage left visible at both ends.

Tuareg Mat

The field is a plain open ground crossed by narrow vertical stripes in a deep brownish-red, set against an undyed ivory background; a fine moiré-like rippling pattern runs across the surface, produced by the closely packed horizontal weft lines meeting the stripes. No border or corner devices are visible, and the piece finishes in a narrow flat band at top and bottom before the loose fringe.

Tuareg Mat

The field is covered edge to edge with a continuous lattice of dark brown diamonds set against a striated ground of amber, gold, and pale straw tones. Fine vertical striping runs beneath the lattice, giving the surface a subtle moiré shimmer where the lines intersect the diamond grid. There is no separate border; the pattern runs to the outer edges, which finish in a loose, uneven fringe.

An open field in warm honey-gold is overlaid with a stepped lattice of small brown diamonds, forming an interlocking trellis pattern across the entire surface. At each intersection of the lattice sits a larger, more elaborately patterned diamond medallion in deeper brown tones, repeated in staggered rows. The narrow selvages show a plain darker brown band, and the fringed ends are left loose and irregular.

Tuareg Mat

The ground is a fine, tightly gridded straw-colored weave divided into vertical panels by narrow brown bands. Within these panels, geometric motifs repeat in dark brown outline: stepped cross forms, elongated diamond shapes enclosing an oval, and small stacked rectangles, arranged in three horizontal registers across the field. The overall palette is warm tan and gold against the darker brown of the linear border stripes and motifs.

Tuareg Mat

The field is composed of vertical bands in a pale straw tone, divided by narrow rust-red stripes, some plain and others carrying a fine diamond-lattice pattern in muted red and gold. A subtle overall sheen runs the length of the piece, giving the striping a soft, undulating quality. The border is kept minimal, framed by a slender rust line along the outer edges with the warp ends left as a plain fringe.

Tuareg Mat

An undyed tan ground is divided into four stepped, rectangular compartments outlined in a warm rust-brown line, each panel filled with a different pale motif set against the open field. Two panels hold diamond and X-crossed hourglass forms with a small plus mark at center, while the other two carry stacked T-shaped and ladder-like figures in a muted slate blue-grey; short dashed marks line the outer margins. The arrangement is diagonally paired rather than mirrored, so the diamond motifs and the T-form motifs each occupy opposite corners.

Tuareg Mat

A pale straw-colored ground is overlaid with a rust-red stepped lattice tracing four large diamond-and-cross medallions radiating from the corners toward a central vertical seam. The jagged, key-fret lines interlock into a symmetrical X-shaped composition, with the fine crosshatched texture of the ground visible throughout. Narrow plain borders in the same rust tone frame the field on all sides, and the corners show light fraying where the border meets the edge.

Tuareg Mat

The field is organized in alternating vertical bands of pale straw-gold and deeper rust-brown, each stripe built up from a dense, irregular crosshatch of fine striations rather than a smooth surface. No border frames the composition; the striped panels run the full length, their edges slightly uneven, ending in a loosely fringed top and bottom selvage. The palette stays within warm ochres and browns throughout, with no additional motifs or inscriptions visible.
