Small Mount Fuji Rug


This Mount Fuji rug is new and roughly 1M^2.$150. It shows a simplification and abstraction from a rug like:

Super fine, roughly 5×7, $1400
The new Mount Fuji rug also links to a more abstract group of small Baluchi rugs. Similar too below, but with red and blue minarets in foreground.

UPDATE:

Rug 465
Here is an example of the more abstract group referred to above which were more common 6 to 7 years ago. The new rug provides a link to understanding the imagery in the rugs like 465. The Mushwani type two minaret mosque borders are noteworthy in the large fine Mount Fuji rug as well as rug #465.

War News from “Baluchi” Rug Area

KABUL, Afghanistan, Oct. 22 — Fighting between the followers of rival commanders of two Pashtun clans in the western province of Herat on Sunday killed 32 fighters and wounded numerous others, said an assistant to Ismail Khan, the former governor of Herat.

The clash took place in the Shindand district south of the city of Herat three days after a factional commander, Arbab Basir, and three of his men were killed in a clash with another Pashtun commander, Amanullah Kahn.

Motorcycle attack:

He [Amanullah Khan] was wounded earlier this year in Herat in an attack on a vehicle in which he was riding. An unknown man on a motorcycle had tossed a hand grenade at his vehicle as he was traveling to the city of Herat for an event aimed at persuading commanders to hand in their weapons, Agence France-Presse reported.

Citadel Rug

Someone who spent a few months in Herat recently came up with this excellent rug.

In the foreground you will see a little hut, that is the tea shop that is still there today. During the Russian occupation they put the guns on top the towers and in my opinion there is no doubt that the aircraft are Migs.
