Condition: This two ewer war rug features multiple tables of ewers between which helicopters, tanks, flowers, star shaped medallions, and other small motifs are dispersed. Two four legged animals (sheep?) which red splotches sit in the center at the top and bottom of the rug. The bright red in the outlines of a lot of the motifs pops against the black field and contrasts well with the olive green. (soda)
