Boujaad Kilim Glyph Constellations — Emerald Field

A striking Boujaad flatweave from the Middle Atlas, its emerald field scattered with constellation-like Amazigh glyphs—crosses of protection, seed diamonds, and flame-like motifs that evoke fertility, journey, and guardianship. Each symbol is woven as an act of remembrance and intention, turning geometry into living heritage.

Weave & Touch

Its brocaded motifs are executed in jewel tones—vermilion, lilac, ivory, and saffron—creating a gentle chromatic shimmer over the green base. Ideal as a floor textile or wall tapestry.
