| The condition of this new war rug is excellent. This red rug is one of the staffs' favorite at warrug.com for many reasons. The first of which is the weavers use of small fighter jets throughout this war rug. This is done in the traditional sense that it is boring to the artist to weave blocks of one color, so she adds the element used in all-over designs, yet replaces the image traditionally seen as flowers with jets. Another point of interest is the nod to the soviet-era war rugs by including illegible text. The characters used is not exactly found in the English language and is a beautiful attempt to show the words that surround her life. Last, but certainly not least, is the unusual border seen in this war rug. Most red rugs depict weaponry or bullets as the border, the use of a benign pattern around the war images is interesting. |
