1343 boucherouite with Cream/Red/Green/Purple/Blue/Yellow Diamonds Pattern

About the same is true for the so called ‚boucherouite‘ rag rugs purely made from recycled materials (the term translates from Moroccan Arabic bu sherwit, ‘a piece torn from pre-used clothing’, ‘scrap‘). The use of such replacement materials started during the 1960s and 1970s in the plains west of the Middle Atlas – mainly settled by Arabs – around the towns of Beni Mellal and Boujad and in the following decades such rugs became popular all over Morocco‘s countryside.
