About this rug

A band of red on pink ground. Kermez is the checked cloth of the Rif, and the checkered Berber rug keeps the check to the edge: a band round a plain center. Weavers once tied the check by heart. Zarbish makes it now.

The border checks are small and tied without a gap, so the two tones meet edge to edge in a clean grid. The center is one plain tone, and the pile in it shows a soft parting down the middle where the wool leans two ways.
