| The condition of this new war rug is excellent. This rug is well knotted and the colors seem to match the child-like drawing in this rug. The water is shown in blue dots in the lower left corner and one gets the feeling this weaver is trying very hard to mimic the normally well-drawn 9/11 rugs because water is usually shown in only the finest examples of these war rugs. This is an example of a less experienced weavers work. The staff of warrug.com finds beginners tribal works wonderfully charming, and the juxtaposition of the haunting reference of that day combined with the innocent artistry makes this WTC war rug extremely unique. |
