| This new war rug is in excellent condition and made with the finest of wools from Ghanzi, Afghanistan. The wool is spun entirely by hand and the dyes used to create these rich, lustrous colors are all natural, and indigenous to the area. Rarely do we ever see this gorgeous chocolate brown used, and it really makes this war rug unique, as it is not used as an accent color, but in the entire field. This fits well with the beautiful landscape of Afghanistan, rich in colors like greens and browns and reds. It is interesting that after the weavers voice was silenced by the Taliban, she emerges to tell her tale not in a covert, subtle way, but with the boldness that her story deserves after such oppression. This war rug leaves no doubt in the mind of the observer, as to what her life has been like, and what she now continues to endure. |
