Moroccan "Boucherouite" Runner Rug

About the Item

Moroccan "Boucherouite" runner rug. A Moroccan rag rug, woven in rare runner format, entirely with cut-up pieces of fabric from old clothes, etc. - boucherouite means rag or torn cloth in Moroccan Arabic. A relatively recent phenomenon, such weavings are products of socio-economic changes in Moroccan society, with nomadic tribes settling in towns, abandoning animal husbandry and losing access to wool. A very creative, artistic response by talented Moroccan women to changing life circumstances.
