BOUJAD RUNNER N° 544BJ
An elongated rug, 1990s–2000s, made around the city of Boujad with a bold graphic composition in yellow, pink, emerald green, and dark hues of natural wool. The vibrant design stands out against the soft pink woolen background, creating a striking contrast. The woolen pile shows slight thinning in some areas due to usage, but the rug remains overall in good condition.

BOUJAD rugs are made by Arab groups and Arabized Berber groups 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.
