A unique runner, 1980s-90s, displaying a drawing-like composition with small motifs that are playfully scattered in the field. The weaver of this rug has used all kinds of materials from leftover plastic, recycled textile scraps, industrial yarns to wool. The appeal of this piece lies in the unconcernedly mix of materials resulting in an overall nonchalant charming design. It is most likely from the Boujad region but the exact origin is unknown.

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.
