| Superb quality. Afghan Kazaks feature hand spun wool and vegetal dye. These War on Terror rugs are much finer than any Afghan Kazak regular rugs we have ever sold. The pile is also longer than any other Afghan Kazaks we have seen. These were some of the first post refugee production rugs woven after the Taliban was routed. Also noteworthy is that they are woven around Kabul. |
