About this rug

Pale clay hills into ridges and channels, a maze of ground. Mataha is maze in Arabic, and the striped Berber runner walks you through one: short bars like walls, one corner bending back. Weavers once walked the maze from memory. Zarbish knots it today.

The meander is built in three layers, a core wrapped in a band wrapped in an outline, and the joins between them are a single knot wide, so the figure reads as one piece in three tones. The ground around it is tied so evenly that nothing competes.

How we made Mataha
