| This new war rug is in perfect condition. The wool is soft and fine and the sheen is beautiful. Quite interestingly, the artist was trying to convey a thought in text that is rarely seen. In the map of Afghanistan found in the background, you see in the bottom left some text. The bottom word is clearly meant to be Afghanistan, but the two words located above that are illegible. The staff at warrug.com can not even guess as to the artists intentions, as we have never seen any other words associated with the naming of their country in the World Trade Center rugs. This type of writing is a nod to the older, soviet-era war rugs, where there would often be Cyrillic lettering with no meaning clearly understood. |
