The checkerboard design is sometimes found in rugs from the region of Boujad in the western Middle Atlas, but it is unusual for it to cover the whole field. The text book "Marokko" by Kurt Rainer shows the design in a Boujad rug on plate 108. Reference 2256. Size 126 x 93 cms. 4ft. 2ins. x 3ft. 1ins. Euros 425.
