Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – Decorated with ancient symbolic details, this tribal rug showcases a number of auspicious pillars embellished with nuanced figures. A bold column of stepped lozenges outlined with endless knots creates a dominant focal point that is supported by groups of ascending ladders and towering pillars that are decorated with boldly outlined blocks and rustic polygons. The ascendant ladders soar across the field and into the decorative strata that completes the composition. These important symbolic motifs represent a tangential path to a higher spiritual realm. The symbolic composition is completed with humanoid symbols and abstract glyphs that dot the edges of the field adding an air of levity to the lively, tribally influenced composition.
