Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – Prominent burdock motifs with latched extensions designed to capture evil spirits decorate the field utilizing a traditional stacked medallion composition. Secondary protection symbols, including geometric glyph and botanical representations of the mythical Tree of Life, continue the vivacious aquamarine and coral pink color scheme. Zigzagging triangles decorate the irregular end piece that marks the edge of the field and the beginning of the flat-woven ends while muted walnut brown borders line the edges of the ivory field putting the bold coral pink and aquamarine details in stark contrast. Woven in Morocco, this cultural vintage rug features a beautiful array of small and large-scale symbols rendered in a chic combination of modern colors.
