About this rug

Globe thistles on dusty rose gravel, navy heads in green rosettes. A shamsa is the sun-rosette, and this floral Berber round rug brings a ceiling of them to the floor: suns in rows. Weavers once set the suns from memory. Zarbish knots it today.

One rosette sits at the top and three gather beneath it, and the lattice between them is open enough that the pale ground shows through in wide gaps. Small arrow marks sit near the rim, pointing inward.
