Condition: This is an extremely nice rug of this type. This Ghazni wool is wonderfully soft and very lustrous. The color is deep madder and beautiful. There is a nice realism to the Kalashnikovs, the barrels are unusually long. There is also an excellent variety of images in this rug: a land mine near the top, the man sticking out of the APC with 2 long guns, two kinds of helicopters and a pistol. The grenade border is quite unusual as the long rectangle size.
The first impression of this rug is the beautiful color and the top quality wool.

Sheen: Great, best for new rug.
Handle: The handle of this war rug is wonderfully floppy.
Fringe: Wool kilim, overhand knots, minimal fringe.
Pile: Wool
Warp: Grey wool
Weft: Dark brown wool. Unusual.
