Immerse yourself in the Boho Chic allure of Boujad rugs, originating from the city of Boujad in the Khouribga region, a historical pilgrimage center and once a bustling commercial hub for caravans between Fes and Marrakesh. Handwoven in Morocco from 100% sheep's wool, these rugs are renowned for their eccentric and artistic designs, boasting a captivating blend of unique shapes and abstract patterns.

The richly striated field of this vintage Berber Moroccan rug is adorned with a symphony of diamonds, concentric lozenges, squares, and Goz eye motifs. The undulating waves of red abrash provide a stunning backdrop for the vibrant and symbolic motifs that grace this exquisite piece. A celebration of Ancient Berber culture, the distinctive tribal design exudes nomadic charm, revealing a tapestry of reproductive symbolism often embedded in Berber rugs.

At the heart of the design, the central lozenge emerges as a powerful symbol of fertility, surrounded by floating diamonds that suggest a spiritual trance or otherworldly experience. Reflecting the theme of duality cherished by women Berber weavers, female diamonds are flanked by harvest symbols, and a zigzag line, reminiscent of a snake, symbolizes the male presence in this captivating piece. Each element weaves a narrative that transcends time, inviting you to explore the rich cultural tapestry of the Berber Tribe.
