About this rug

Coral and near-black blocks in a checkerboard. Alwan means colors in Arabic, plural, and this checkered Berber rug says nothing else: big blocks of flat color, one against the next. Weavers once tied boards like it from memory. Zarbish knots it now.

The squares are big enough that each one shows its own weather: the wool inside a square shades from one corner to the other as it leans. Their edges are tied without a dividing line, so two tones meet knot against knot, and the rows of rounded cells at the ends are the only small marks on the rug.
