Abstract

In Morocco, wood is everywhere: carved, inlaid, shaped on a lathe or painted. Woodworking is a secular heritage, an art handed down from father to son, and although drawn from the same sources, the invention is constantly renewed, alive and actual. The tools used are rudimentary, only patience, serenity and the artist’s talent will make the difference to create a thousand fascinating motifs.
