About the Item
Rugs named after the town of Boujad were woven by Arab or Arabised Berber tribes, who are principally located on the southwestern foothills of the Middle Atlas mountains, in a region which allowed a close contact with the Arab tribes inhabiting the Haouz (the plains around Marrakesh), thus influencing each other in the structural characteristics as well as in terms of designs.
Boujads represent one of the most creative and colourful facet of the Moroccan rug tradition. In this relatively early example the orange-red background is divided into rectangular compartments containing separated clusters of motifs such as dots, lines and squares, which are considered the building blocks of the abstract language of Moroccan woven art. A fine, dense knotting results in an elegant surface, allowing the composition to be expressed with clarity.The striped weft-faced ends as well as the extra-weft side indentations are also typical of the weavings of the neighbouring Rehamna tribes.
This piece will soon be part of our gallery and web exhibition entitled 'Mixed Media - Woven Abstractions of the Berber Women'.
