Azetta Round Striped Moroccan Rug

A wall of reed canes, one dark band across them. Azetta is the loom in Amazigh, and this striped Berber round rug shows its workings: upright bars like the warp, a bar across. Weavers once knew the frame by heart. Zarbish knots it today.

The lower half of the circle is almost empty: one upright line down the center on open ground. Above it, short bars and nested corner brackets crowd the upper half, so the rug reads top-heavy on purpose, like a loom with the cloth still at the top.
