A peculiar rug from the early 2000s with a free flowing abstract design. Starting with a row of triangles at the bottom the clear shapes transform into vertical amorph chains of diamonds, then change into flickering lines, all framed by a vague checkerboard design. A few bold color accents provide a playful counterpoint to the otherwise muted color palette. The small rug is quite robust in construction.

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.
