| This is a really finely knotted and lustrous rug. Six orange rifles line the sides of the rug with rows of well defined tanks, helicopters, and smaller weapons filling the center. The border is comprised of a medium sized floral design and two smaller candy-cane striped guard stripes with a jagged outer stripe.
Seems like a prototype Red Rug, however the drawing and structure is more Baghlani. |
