TAZRITA Boujad Kilim | 209 x 105 cm
TAZRITA
Tazrita = “the embroidered one” / “the adorned one” — perfect for a kilim filled with tribal symbols and decorative rows.
Vintage Boujad Kilim (One-of-A-Kind)
A feast of colour, symbolism and tradition — Boujad Tazrita is a true vintage gem from the Boujad region, woven entirely by hand and adorned with rows of Amazigh tribal motifs. Every band tells its own story: protective symbols, fertility marks, zigzag paths, ancestral patterns and playful colourwork appear like a woven diary of the woman who created it.
The base is a soft, sun-warmed rose red — a colour Boujad is famous for — enriched with bursts of saffron yellow, emerald green, bright orange, charcoal black and sky blue. Some motifs are woven flat; others rise slightly from the surface, creating a tactile rhythm unique to older Boujad kilims.
This piece carries small signs of life and time — including a tiny repair made in Marrakech by our trusted maâlem (visible in photos). Rather than diminish the rug, it adds depth, authenticity and soul. A detail that reinforces the beauty of an object made to last.
Photographed on our riad rooftop at sunset, this kilim is more than décor — it’s a statement piece, a collector’s textile, a colourful slice of Moroccan heritage.
