Tallī_‘aīn_Mozah: (Arabic: ‘aīn: eye, mozah: female name), colloquially in the UAE refers to a repeated eye-shaped pattern used in (tallī) making, celebrated as the eyes of Mozah, closely similar to (Talli_almās). It requires 16 spools (dhahārī) of thread, 2 metallic straw (khūṣah), and 15 hours of work to obtain a meter-long cord.
