Iraq map showing American weapons and neighboring countries. Border from earlier designs. The attack helicopters and humvee are remarkably well drawn in these rugs. These are the first Afghan war rugs not representing Afghanistan. The vocabulary is constant but the subject has changed. These rugs demonstrate the degree to which war rugs have become an established vernacular in Afghan art. Note the misspelling in "WELLCOME". Iraq has been painted red after the fact, as inspection of the pile indicates that it used to be a yellow wool. For a history of map rugs featuring Iraq, please see this blog post from 2007.
