Condition: This new war rug is in perfect condition. This piece of Afghan folk art was woven by the same weaver who wove the war rug above, #882. Her skills as an artist are highly developed and sought after, and warrug.com searches for only the very best artists.
The wool used produced a wonderfully thick and dense pile. Some of the qualities of this war rug that set it apart is the use of a wool foundation and kilim ends. Also of note, she is one of the only artists we have seen who draws two flags on each end of the tanks.
