Condition: This early orangey-toned rug features an elaborate symmetrical cityscape split into thirds by two bright blue rivers running down either side of the center of the rug. The buildings feature contrasting red and green accents that help them pop from the orangey brown background. The main border consists of red, white, and green tanks and helicopters on a brown background, and the secondary border consists of smaller diamond shaped motifs.
