Condition: This new war rug is in very good condition. It has been through a special washing process in Pakistan, and the colors will only get more beautiful with time as the wool oxidizes. The composition is quite good in this war rug. The artists use of the space between the two Kalashnikovs is done with exceptional precision, allowing for varying and interesting weaponry. The multiple colors in the bullet border are echoed in the planes, making for an almost pixilated appearance and a wonderful contemporary twist.
