The Weaving of Time
The Weaving of Time
Threads of violet, saffron, and shadow,
interwoven like the moments of a day.
Each diamond a step,
each line a breath—
woven into time.

Exhibit No. 020 — The Weaving of Time
Beni M’Guild, Middle Atlas, Morocco, Circa 1970s
Curator’s Note
This rug feels like a tapestry of moments—a vibrant balance of color and design that echoes both tradition and innovation. The purple, orange, and black motifs come together to create a sense of movement, even stillness. Each diamond seems to be a frozen gesture in time, full of layers and complexity.
While this is a vintage piece, its timeless beauty and craftsmanship continue to increase in value, becoming even richer with age.
