A thick and sturdy Boujad rug, 2000s, with a subtle graphic appearance. Three different diamond motifs, knotted in strawberry red wool and colorful yarns, are arranged vertically on a dark beige field with vibrant abrash. Each of the lozenges is unique in design. The overall composition is framed by a striking checkered border.

BOUJAD rugs are made by Arab tribes and Arabised Berber tribes but they are named after the town of Boujad. The surrounding region of this town lies in the western foothills of the Middle Atlas adjoining the Zaer tribal territory in the extreme western corner, and the town Beni Mellal at the northernmost edge of Western High Atlas. The knotted rugs have typically a low pile and are often made with mixed materials such as wool, cotton, textile scraps and industrial yarns. Their designs are often highly individual containing Berber motifs, motifs found in Rabat rugs, distorted checkerboard fields and gestural abstract patterns- all in lively colors.
