Boujaad–Zanafi Polychrome Glyph Kilim — Ivory Field
Boujaad–Zanafi Polychrome Glyph Kilim — Ivory Field
Boujaad–Zanafi Polychrome Glyph Kilim — Ivory Field (250 × 150 cm)
A Middle Atlas Boujaad workshop interpreting the Zanafi hanbel idiom: an undyed ivory ground animated by a field of brocaded Amazigh signs—lozenges, arrowheads, chevrons, bar marks, and Tifinagh-like strokes—organized in gentle vertical “spines.” The effect is airy, modern, and unmistakably tribal.
