This new Afghan war rug is in excellent condition. Some of the attractive features of this rug are the light blue sky over the Tora Bora caves and the wide variety of flags, including Pakistan, Great Britain, the US, and Russia?. These ""Route of Terrorism"" rugs are very finely knotted and this war rug is no exception. This rug has a minor problem with the clipping of the pile. Just above the large F-16 the text is blurred by this problem. The layout of the flags is particularly nice in this rug, as are the light colors |
