Vintage Moroccan Boujad Carpet BJ27
This vintage Boujad narrates an intriguing story, shifting from a geometric brick network at one end to Arab influenced symbolism near the bottom. The Berber motifs (bricks filled with lozenges, double triangles and rod forms) create a colorful symmetry, adding an urban influence to the composition. The adapted Arab Mihrab symbols (barbed medallion) are organized within horizontal bands, along with an adjacent variation on the hamsa form filled with vibrating lozenges. Knotted in a unique palette of brick red, bright pink, orange, celadon green, dark purple and black wool. 100% wool on a multicolored warp.
