Handwoven by Berber women using age-old techniques, this piece features an exceptionally fine weave with vibrant horizontal bands in red, French blue, ivory, and orange—a classic color palette that reflects the energy and rhythm of Moroccan design.

What sets this Kilim apart is the intricate needlepoint-style embroidery integrated throughout the rug, forming abstract and symbolic motifs that rise subtly from the flat weave. This unique textural detail gives the Kilim a three-dimensional effect, turning it into more than a floor covering—it's a tactile piece of woven art.
