Boujaad Kilim — Sand Ledger of Talismans
Boujaad Kilim — Sand Ledger of Talismans (240 × 140 cm)
A luminous Boujaad flatweave whose sand-beige ground reads like parchment. Across the field, ranked emblems—crosses, seed lozenges, checker rosettes, and stepped diamonds— are punctuated by sawtooth guard lines that track the rhythm of Amazigh journeys.
