| The condition of this new war rug is good. This is a simpler 9/11 war rug, but it is this somewhat tribal aspect that appeals to many of us at warrug.com. The navy blue in the flags is quite lovely, as is the dye of red used. The sky blue in the helicopter and highlighting the top of the World Trade Center and the olive sprig is refreshingly light. The fire in this war rug is not as harsh and dramatic as in the other 9/11 rugs, so the actual architecture and the symbol of peace seems to stand out more than in other war rugs of this design. |
