Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – This vivid vintage rug from Morocco features a diverse variety of protection symbols rendered in a full spectrum of colors, including warm hues, cool tones and muted neutrals. Strap work details divide the field into sections and intersect the stacked lozenge medallion while radiant checkerboard symbols for protection against the evil eye flank both ends of the field and central medallions lending their beautiful purple, azure, ultramarine, celadon and bole brown colors to the overall palette. Columnar borders dotted with colorful flecks unify the liberal color scheme and diverse variety of intermingled protection symbols that offset the neutral beige field.
