Boujaad Kilim Glyph Bands — Saffron Field

A luminous Boujaad flatweave from the Middle Atlas, articulated in horizontal bands of Amazigh glyphs—guard zigzags, lozenge constellations, and triangular mountain rows—across a saturated saffron ground. The composition reads like a woven manuscript of protection, ascent, and kinship.

Weave & Touch
