| This is a dark take on the 10 Tank War Rug style. The 16 tanks it actually sports are surrounded by first a geometric design then a second, more floral outer border. There are small red and orange planes filling the negative space between the tanks. The colors overall are quite somber. |
| Wool: Dense, slightly dry | Sheen: Very good | Handle: Floppy but strong | Selvedge: Tightly braided blue goat hair |
| Fringe: 1/2 in tan fringe | Pile: 1mm | Warp: Tan wool | Weft: Blue/Grey cotton |
| Warp Depression:No warp depression. All the warp threads lay on the same plane, so both nodes of every knot are clearly visible from the back of the rug. | |||
