Taznakht weavings are characterised by their lower pile (here 6–8 mm), tighter knotting, and the bold use of natural and aniline dyes on undyed wool grounds. The region is the same as the smaller Taznakht pieces we offer, in this case in a generous medium format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece was hand-knotted around \u003cstrong\u003e1980s–1990s\u003c\/strong\u003e in \u003cstrong\u003e100% hand-spun sheep's wool\u003c\/strong\u003e on a wool foundation, and carries the abstract, intuitive composition typical of Amazigh craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign and Palette\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA confident composition in the classical southern-Berber colour vocabulary: \u003cstrong\u003ered\u003c\/strong\u003e ground sections, \u003cstrong\u003eblue\u003c\/strong\u003e figures, \u003cstrong\u003ebeige\u003c\/strong\u003e ground, \u003cstrong\u003eorange\u003c\/strong\u003e accents.
