About this rug

A white cliff over the beach. The Skala is the sea wall of Essaouira, and this sculpted Beni Mrirt round rug lays a stretch of it: blocks of wool at several heights. Weavers once tied the ground level. Zarbish cuts the masonry today.

The blocks are cut to part blocks where they meet the circle, and the pale wool runs to the edge. The blocks differ in height as well as size, so the surface is uneven under the hand in a way the eye only half sees.
