The central field features a large, terracotta-coral diamond motif, embellished with two small, stylized anthropomorphic figures, a typical iconographic element of tribal textile art.

The composition is framed by a vibrant, multi-colored border with zigzagging geometric patterns and checkerboard details in shades of pink, blue, green, yellow, and lilac, creating a captivating contrast with the dark background of the central field.

Crafted using traditional artisanal techniques, this piece combines the quality of Afghan craftsmanship with the Berber decorative language, making it ideal for contemporary, boho chic, eclectic, or mid-century modern interiors.

Its compact size makes it perfect as an entryway rug, beside the bed, in a study, a bedroom, or as a decorative accent in the living room.
