Condition: This is a wonderfully colored Soviet Exodus rug. The orange, red, blue, and turquoise add character to the rug-- Afghanistan is colored in a deep red with the deep green line of tanks leading away from the country. There is a large amount of text throughout the background amongst the weaponry. The right side of the rug is dated USSR 1989 (usually these rugs are dated using the Persian Calendar, the fact that this rug is dated in English is interesting).
Wool: Dense, some tip fading
Sheen: Slight shine
Handle: Stiff but flexible
Fringe: No kilim, white cotton persian closure
Pile: 6mm
Warp: White cotton
