Skillfully crafted by Berber tribes, notably the Haouz and Rehamna, these rugs embody tradition and artistic finesse. Bursting with vibrant hues of reds, pinks, and oranges, they showcase intricate geometric patterns and symbolic motifs such as diamonds and chevrons.

Amidst the soft peach backdrop, a mesmerizing hexagonal red medallion takes center stage on this enchanting hand-knotted wool vintage Boujad Moroccan rug. Beyond its timeless allure lies a profound connection to Ancient Berber culture, where every motif tells a tale of tradition and symbolism. The lozenge shape nestled within the decorative symbols holds a sacred purpose—it's believed to foretell the gift of new life, echoing the anticipation of pregnancy.

With its eight-point lobed lozenge shape, it beckons the spirit of birth and renewal, embraced by the rug's intricate composition. In the intricate weave of Moroccan rugs, the dance between masculine and feminine motifs unfolds like a timeless ritual. Male symbols gracefully encircle the outer realms, framing and safeguarding their female counterparts.
