| This rows-of-weapons rug features rows of tanks, jets, grenades, and other weapons typical of these rugs. What makes this rug unique, however, are the randomly placed bright accents. A short line of electric blue is visible in the top left, and striking greens are found in the windows of a tank in the bottom right. A speck of purple is in the bottom left. A unique pretty mint green flower in the inner-most guard stripe is visible in the bottom right corner of the rug. |
