About the Item

The Moroccan rugs from the Boujad region represent the most extreme abstract renditions of Berbers' woven art. Like in this example, their designs are often based on codified patterns, where the weaver gives space to her own interpretation. Here we see an all-over lozenge grid pattern which, like a musical 'decrescendo', changes in scale as the weaving progresses.
