Originating from the vibrant city of Boujad in the Khouribga region, a historical pilgrimage center and bustling commercial hub along the caravan route between Fes and Marrakesh, Boujad rugs are meticulously handwoven in Morocco using 100% sheep's wool. Renowned for their eccentric and artistic designs, these rugs showcase a captivating blend of unique shapes and abstract patterns.

Woven with care and precision, this hand-knotted wool vintage Boujad Moroccan rug is a tapestry of ancestral symbolism rooted in the rich traditions of the Berber tribe. Against an abrashed red backdrop, a myriad of geometric tribal symbols unfolds, each carrying profound meaning. Checkerboards form partridge eyes, creating a motif that signifies protection, while rectangular bands contribute to the rug's animated narrative. This Moroccan rug serves as a visual representation of beauty, femininity, and womanhood—themes that hold significant cultural importance in Ancient Berber traditions. Pentagons, possibly embodying the Hamsa symbol, contribute protective powers against the evil eye, adding an extra layer of symbolism to the composition. Despite its seemingly simple appearance, this beautiful Moroccan rug is a testament to the depth of meaning and cultural significance woven into every thread.
