Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – Resembling that of hieroglyphics, this Moroccan rug tells a mystery of a story to its viewers. It looks like a design that only a master cryptographer could truly understand. Perfectly asymmetrical, the rug tells a story rather than trying to display a pattern. This is one of the most intriguing rugs in our collection. If not for the solid black and white contrast of the piece, then for the cryptic message it carries.
