Vintage Moroccan Colorful Abstract Boujad Berber Rug

About the Item

A very unusual Berber rug from the Boujad region, located on the foothills of the central High Atlas mountains of Morocco, characterized by a naive, simplified rendition of a centralized design, with an inner rectangular yellow compartment, containing a purple lozenge, layered over two fields of color. Hand knotted by exclusively using silky industrial yarns, the ancient modernity of its iconography is quite characteristic of this area as well as of that of the nearby Azilal region. Works such as this piece were almost unknown to the west until recent times and represent the most authentic facet of Berber woven art.
