Ouzoud Diamond Beni Ourain Runner

Brown pebbles under a skin of foam. Ouzoud is the fall that pools among stones, and this diamond Beni Ourain runner keeps the pool's bed: stone after stone, each worn to its own shape. Weavers once laid stones from memory. Zarbish makes it now.

The cells stretch into long ovals down the runner, tied in a warm wool, and the pale lattice between them keeps the same width end to end. At the long edges the ovals are cut, so the pattern runs past the rug.
