Boujaad–Zanafi Glyph Columns — Ivory Field
Boujaad–Zanafi Glyph Columns — Ivory Field
Boujaad–Zanafi Glyph Columns — Ivory Field (240 × 140 cm)
A Middle Atlas Boujaad workshop interpreting the Zanafi hanbel idiom: an undyed ivory ground arranged in columnar registers of brocaded Amazigh symbols—zigzags, arrow trees, cross stars, ladders, lozenges, and Tifinagh-like marks. The vertical rhythm reads airy and architectural while preserving tribal spontaneity.
