Expressive Boujaad from the Middle Atlas with a saturated twilight palette: an aubergine–plum field shading into saffron and ember near the base. A stacked pair of stepped diamond medallions—each ringed with checker tiles—anchors the composition. The margins carry saw-tooth mountain guards and a procession of botanical rosettes, stars, and talismanic signs in mint, peach, rose, and charcoal.
