An older example from the southern part of the Boujad region, 1960s, most probably from the Ait Roboa, with a distorted chequerboard pattern in a soft color palette. The overall composition plays with different rhythms, creating a liveliness that is counteracted by the softness of the colors. This piece is suited for a low traffic area due to some areas of thinned out pile.

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.
