Berber

An open, undecorated ivory field dominates the piece, its plush surface catching light unevenly across the pile. A single row of small dark brown marks interrupts the emptiness near the upper third: four thin vertical dashes flanking a solid square, spaced irregularly rather than symmetrically. Warp fringes finished in twisted, knotted cords edge the top and bottom.

Berber

An almost entirely open field in undyed ivory pile, its surface left plain apart from three thin, irregularly drawn brown lines running horizontally across the lower third. There is no border to speak of, the field running edge to edge and terminating in loose warp fringe at top and bottom. The wavering, hand-drawn quality of the lines is the only interruption to an otherwise blank expanse.

Berber

An open ivory field is dominated by a single large diamond outlined in a fine zigzag line of soft brown, its four points reaching to the centers of each border edge. The plain ground shows subtle tonal variation from cream to pale gold, with no additional motifs beyond the diamond outline, and the piece finishes in loosely knotted fringe at top and bottom.

Berber

The field is divided into two horizontal registers: an expansive plain ivory-gold ground occupying the upper two-thirds, giving way below to a dense band of irregular striations in charcoal, brown and cream that resemble ripples or bark texture. There is no border, and the transition between the open field and the striped lower section is uneven rather than a straight line. Warp ends are finished with long, loosely twisted ivory and brown fringe at both top and bottom.

Berber

An essentially open field in undyed ivory pile, its surface mottled with soft tonal variations that catch the light unevenly. A single thin brown line runs horizontally across the lower third, the sole interruption to the plain expanse, bordered top and bottom by a narrow flat selvage and a loose knotted fringe.

Berber

An undyed ivory ground is left largely open, crossed top to bottom by loosely drawn vertical lines in a soft brown. A single horizontal band interrupts the field, filled with small scattered glyph-like figures — hooked forms, diamonds, triangles, and simple stick figures — rendered in the same brown outline. The side borders carry a run of small checkered blocks, while the top and bottom edges finish in loose, undyed fringe.

Plains

Cut Pile and Loop Technique

The field is left entirely open, its surface built from fine horizontal striations that catch the light in soft variations of taupe and ivory. A narrow, unadorned border in a slightly deeper tone frames the composition, running evenly along all four edges. The overall effect is one of subtle tonal movement rather than pattern, with the ridged texture itself serving as the sole decorative interest.

Chequerboard

An unbordered field in a saturated yellow-gold ground is overlaid with a subtle checkerboard of small squares in muted grey-green, arranged in irregular bands that shift in density across the surface. The pattern reads almost like a faded overlay rather than a bold motif, with no distinct border framing the composition, and plain warp fringe visible at both ends. A small circular woven mark appears in the upper right corner.
