| This new war rug is in excellent condition. The colors are extremely nice throughout, and the images are hauntingly clear. The rug contains various scenes letting your eyes move and zero in on one area and the meaning behind each, or just to take in the overall theme as a whole. The sharp drawing of the missile launching in the bottom right is particularly well done, as are the drawings of the planes in this war rug. Please allow us to also point out that there is an image in this one that may be a little hard to take, although rare in most 9/11 themed rugs and not as pronounced in this rug as in rug number 109, between the two towers near the top portion is a person falling. |
