On the Design:

This visually arresting tribal runner builds its narrative through a powerful, alternating sequence of color and intricate motif bands. The design establishes a strong rhythmic journey down its length, emphasizing the subtle depth achieved through traditional flat-weaving.

The palette creates a compelling contrast between the intense, warm bands of sanguine red and deep auburn and the cool, grounding stripes of near-black navy blue. Interspersed among these color fields are complex, narrow bands filled with repeating geometric symbols in shades of beige and dark red.

The beauty is found in the interplay between the spacious simplicity of the solid color bands and the concentrated energy of the patterned sections. This layering of light, dark, and motif results in a deeply felt, balanced piece of nomadic art that brings both history and sophisticated color to any long space.
