Condition: The condition of this new Afghan war rug is excellent. There is, however, some of the usual minimal bleeding of dark into light colors.
The images depicted in this war rug are fascinating. You have the planes driven by the terrorists drawn like missiles going into the World Trade Center in the US with the text saying 'September 11th the attack on America in New York by terrorist' coupled with the images of the United States' attack on terrorists and the Taliban in Afghanistan with missiles being dropped by our planes into the Tora Bora region with the text 'rout of terrorism with help of America and Britain'. The drawing of the American flag is done exceptionally well.
Wool: The wool is of good quality.
Sheen: The sheen is underdeveloped and will improve over time as the wool oxidizes.
Handle: The handle on this war rug is moderately firm.
Selvedge: The selvedge consists of one side of 2 cord wool warp wrap and one side of 3 cord flat wool wrap.
Fringe: The 2 inch fringe on this war rug has overhand knots.
Pile: Wool 5mm.
Warp: White cotton.
Weft: Black cotton.
